Fasten off, leave a very long yarn tail.
Use a tapestry needle to sew the remaining hole closed.
Push the tapestry needle through the middle of the pumpkin to the other side.
Using quite a bit of tension, pull the thread around to the other side of the pumpkin and push the tapestry needle through the same spot in the middle.
Repeat this five more times (six times in total). Try to divide the pumpkin into six equal parts, whilst keeping the tension quite firm. After the last push through securely fasten the thread in the middle by making a couple of knots.
