A closer look at this pattern

What to cut. What to keep.

Follow these shapes

Follow the outside edge of the filled heart. There is no second heart, outline or small central piece to transfer.

Leave these areas connected

The small notch at the top stays open to the surrounding shell. Keep a clear margin around the lower point instead of extending it toward the pumpkin’s base.

Fit this design to your pumpkin

Try a 75 mm print on the curved surface. Check both rounded lobes and leave enough pumpkin around the lower point.

Print width: 75–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
