Patch The Pumpkin is a cute little character, sure to be loved by all! He has loads of personality and with a simple switch of features can be personalised. Patch can pose due to the pipe cleaners in his arms and legs. He is a great stash buster and would make a lovely shelf sitter. This is an easy pattern for those with some knitting and I-cord experience.
