Pumpkin Patch Baby Mitts

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! This pair of mittens are worked on only two needles and they remind me of little pumpkins in the middle of a pumpkin patch. Not only will they look cute at a fall gathering, but they could be made in your favorite team colors and worn to a football game!
