A closer look at this pattern
What to cut. What to keep.
Follow these shapes
Trace the two open eye bands, the two inner oval holes and the wavy mouth. Keep the eye bands open at the bottom as shown in the template.
Leave these areas connected
The light eye centers connect through the gaps in the curved bands. Do not turn those bands into closed rings or cut across the light connection to an inner oval.
Fit this design to your pumpkin
This face has more internal eye detail than the button-eyed moustache design. Check both the bottom gaps and the small oval holes at your chosen width.
Print width: 160–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
