Calling all pumpkin lovers! Meet Gourdie, the cutest little oblong pumpkin you’ve ever seen! As Fall lover, Gourdie loves hanging out on porches, mantels and windowsills. His favorite thing is seeing all the leaves change color! This is a quick make which means you can make more than one in an afternoon, making your very own pumpkin patch!

This pattern includes step-by-step photos and directions to help you along as you make it. There is also a full video tutorial on my Youtube Channel for guidance.
