A little sideways wink

Small Winking Pumpkin Face — pumpkin carving stencil

One rounded eye, one thick diagonal wink and a tilted smile create a small, uneven face. The wink is deliberately a broad bar rather than a fine curved line.

A closer look at this pattern

What to cut. What to keep.

Follow these shapes

Remove the oval eye, slanted bar and single smiling mouth. The three openings stay separate across the face.

Leave these areas connected

Preserve the light area below the wink and above the smile. Its open space makes the diagonal eye read clearly at a compact size.

Fit this design to your pumpkin

Try the 85 mm paper width against your pumpkin and enlarge it if the wink feels too small to trace. Flip the full face to turn its smile toward a neighboring pumpkin.

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.
