The moment the first leaves start drifting down, I get an itch to pull out my orange pegs again! This pumpkin reads at a glance: one peg, one bead, and the deep red ridges do all the work of shaping the fruit for you, no row-counting needed. Start with the little green stalk at the top, then work your way down row by row toward the widest part of the belly, where the symmetry really shows, so keep an eye on the darker guide line every five pegs to stay on track. When you iron it, a sheet of baking paper on both sides and steady, even pressure is all it takes to fuse the beads without flattening them. Once it’s popped off the board, this little pumpkin makes a sweet window hanging or a fridge magnet that will happily carry you through the whole season.
