A closer look at this pattern

What to cut. What to keep.

Follow these shapes

Remove the broad domed cap and the separate stem underneath. Trace the flat lower edge of the cap as shown.

Leave these areas connected

Leave the wide light strip between the cap and stem intact. The stem is a solid opening rather than a white support beneath the cap.

Fit this design to your pumpkin

At the suggested 85 mm width, the cap sets the whole design’s width. Keep both cap corners on the front of the pumpkin rather than wrapping them around the sides.

Print width: 85–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
