How to Make a Jack-O'-Lantern Hat for Your Porch Goose


Step 1: Cut Out the Pattern Pieces



Using the pattern for your goose size, cut:


  • Orange: 2 pieces — one front with a circular face opening and one full back piece

  • Green: 1 or 2 pieces for the pumpkin stem topper

  • Black: Jack-O'-Lantern face pieces




Step 2: Stitch Around the Face Opening


Stitch around the circular face opening on the orange front piece. This helps stabilize the edge and gives it a neat finish.  Then sew along the decorative pumpkin lines, following the pattern markings.
