I actually designed a different version of these several years ago and I have tried to make a different version for each holiday since.
They make for amazing gift wrap for small gifts, last minute gifts, and even to give out to trick-o-treaters! They would also be fun for Halloween party prizes!

Notes
- Beginning ch-1 does not count as a stitch
- Make mini pumpkins or a large pumpkin
- A Black border can be used for a Halloween feel, or a Green border can be used for a more harvest feel.
- Optional: Use them as mug coasters instead! Simply add the border all the way around all 4 sides of one panel, add the appliques, and voila!

Thank you for the awesome patterns – row 4 of the large pumpkin only has 24 stitches – but you have a stitch total of 28 at the end of the round. Please advise –
Hi Amanda!
28 is the correct stitch count for round 4. If you didn’t get 28 stitches, then it’s possible that round 3 doesn’t have the correct amount of stitches (18).
