crochet pumpkin gone mad - HELP!

[Red Rock]

Since it is that time of the year again for "seasonal" items, I thought it would be fun to make a crochet pumpkin. So I found the picture/pattern and thought I would give it a try. I will post my "oyster looking" pumpkin and what it should really look like.

Is this what should be happening when you increase in a circle? Or will it take shape once it becomes stuffed in the end? Should I post some of the pattern icase I am not reading correctly?

Thankyou for your help.
