If you’re still unsure about decorations, consider carving your pumpkin in a slightly different way than the usual jack-o’-lantern faces — try out an Estonian design!
Folk patterns: Estonia has many different folk patterns that vary depending on where you go in the country. In Rõuge parish of Võru County (southern Estonia), you'll find big Xs and diamonds with dots. In Saare County, we can see eight-pointed stars. In Paide, Järva County (central Estonia), you'll find sleeves and collars embroidered with round flowers and curly stems. Head over to the rahvaroivad.ee website to search for each parish’s patterns and sketch out some shapes you’d like to carve.
