A closer look at this pattern
What to cut. What to keep.
Follow these shapes
Trace the complete cat as one dark shape. Include the lifted paw, spaces between the legs, pointed ears and the rounded end of the upright tail.
Leave these areas connected
Preserve the open notches between the legs and beside the lifted paw. Leave the area beneath the body attached to the lower shell.
Fit this design to your pumpkin
Measure the full distance from the curved tail to the projecting nose. Flip the pattern if you want the cat to walk toward another pumpkin in a display.
Print width: 150–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
