The video tutorial walks you through the herringbone stitch so clearly that I finished the smallest pumpkin in one evening. Having three sizes in one pattern means I can mix and match them on my shelf without it looking repetitive.

I’m halfway through the small size and the herringbone stitch is so satisfying to work up, plus having three size options means I can make a whole little pumpkin patch for my shelf. The YouTube tutorial made the trickier parts click for me without any guesswork.
