This zany little pumpkin sits just 6 and a half inches high.
This pumpkin is meant for decoration only, please do not let small children play with it.

The pattern for this little chap is clearly written and contains many photo’s to help you along the way.

Short rows have been used on the main leaves, but simple instructions on how to do this are included.

I classify this as suitable for a confident beginner
