About this pattern

A squat pale peach-orange pumpkin seen from the front, with a soft orange edge in place of a dark outline. It has five rounded ribs, a wide one in the middle and two narrower ones on each side, and a short tan stalk on top that widens at its foot. Low on the middle rib is a small face: two dark square eyes set wide apart, a one-stitch mouth between them and a pink blush just below and outside each eye. The left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 39 by 26 stitches and uses five thread colors.

39 stitches wide by 26 high: 680 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Very Light Mahogany 3856, Very Light Mahogany 402, Dark Yellow Beige 3045 and 2 more).
