A closer look at this pattern

What to cut. What to keep.

Follow these shapes

Trace both filled circles and the single curved mouth. Neither eye contains a center that needs to stay attached.

Leave these areas connected

Keep the broad strip between the eyes and smile. Do not add a nose into that strip when working at the smaller suggested sizes.

Fit this design to your pumpkin

Try an 80 mm print against your pumpkin. Check the full eye span as well as the smile, and enlarge the pattern if the gaps look too narrow.

Print width: 80–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
