Meet the Pumpkin, a cheerful carved pumpkin with a wide, toothy grin, sitting on a cosy bed of autumn leaves. Its glowing orange face and curling green stem make it more charming than frightening, so it suits anyone who loves a friendly touch of Halloween.

This pattern is a lovely choice if you enjoy seasonal stitching or want a quick project to welcome the spooky season. Once finished, it looks wonderful in a small frame on a wall or shelf, and it makes a thoughtful handmade gift for fellow autumn lovers.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.

These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.

HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
