Size: 2XL: 13×14.5, XL: 11.5×13, L: 9×10.5, M: 7.5×9.5, S: 6.5×7, XS: 5×4.5 (HxWxDcm).
Difficulty: Easy/Intermediate
Notes: This pattern is written in English, US crochet terminology and SI units are used throughout. I use a smaller hook size than the yarn calls for to get tighter stitches. The pumpkin is crocheted in one piece in continuous rounds. All measurements are approximate & will vary with your yarn & tension.
