This is an instructional guide with example measurements, not a graded, size-by-size pattern. Total yarn yardage and skein quantities are not supplied. Source notes identify unresolved details in some finishing instructions, and the guide has not been physically test-knit.

The pumpkin motif shown in some images is inspiration only. A pumpkin chart is NOT included. The guide explains the duplicate-stitch technique for use with a separate chart.
