**Slip Stitch (sl st):**
Fin­ish your rows with a slip stitch to main­tain a con­sis­tent stitch count. Slip stitch­ing is also used to join the short sides of your cro­cheted rec­tan­gle to cre­ate a cylin­der shape.

**Pump­kin Stem:**
Add a pump­kin stem at the top of your pump­kin for an adorable touch. Attach it secure­ly with a dif­fer­ent col­or yarn and the whip stitch or slip stitch tech­nique.
