to the real pumpkin.
Choose compact, original, or large and US Letter or A4 paper. Download the PDF or print the prepared tiles at Actual size, verify the 2-inch scale bar, and join the labeled sheets before tracing.
The pattern is divided into 4 overlapping US Letter sheets (2 across × 2 down), plus one scale-check page. Print at 100% or Actual size; check the ruler before tracing.
Choosing a size
Measure the area available on the firm pumpkin face. The canvas is the square sheet area, including space around the drawing. Choose a size that fits the whole drawing and its dashed bridge marks. Compact is 90% of the original, and Large is 120%. Use the no-carve route if none fits.
These options are checked against our drawing and print-size rules. Real rind strength, shape, and printer accuracy vary; these are not physically tested carvings. Keep the marked bridges intact and check the ruler on the actual paper.

This original 14.46 in square canvas is already tiled into 2 columns × 2 rows. Pattern sheets overlap by 0.25 inch.
- Use US Letter portrait paper. In the print dialog choose 100% or Actual size. Turn off headers and footers. Do not choose Fit, Shrink, or Poster.
- Measure the bar below before cutting paper. It must be exactly 2 inches from end to end. If it is not, cancel and correct the print scale.
- Arrange full sheets by row and column. The identifier stays in the top paper margin; overlap the clean printable rectangles—not the paper edges—until paired crosshairs meet exactly.
- Tape the 0.25-inch seams. Orange cut lines are optional guides for flatter seams; leaving the full overlap intact is sturdier. The assembled canvas is 14.46 in square.
Keep the solid garden border beside the keyhole intact. Adult carving only. Children can wash, scoop with a broad spoon, trace with washable marker, and place a secured battery light after tools are cleared.
