Fold the rectangle horizontally and slip or whip stitch the short ends together.
Then using a tapestry need and gather the top and bottom. Put the two ends of the piece yarn until you have closed the circle on one end.
Next, stuff the pumpkin with some fiberfill.
Make a stem out of the hemp yarn by wrapping the yarn around 4 fingers about 15 times. Then wrap the opposite direction towards one half. Cut and tie the yarn.
You can use a stick from outside or a cinnamon stick too. Another idea is to crochet a stem using yarn. I have the pattern below the 3rd pumpkin.
