Knitting Pattern: Pumpkin Spice Cup Sleeve

It's that time of year when pumpkin spice is in just about everything. Although I am not a fan of the flavor (unless it's in a pie) I have a fun little knitting pattern to help you enjoy your PSL or other warm beverage.

This Pumpkin Spice Cup Sleeve is a super quick project that can easily be completed in an afternoon. I used an acrylic/wool blend from my stash, but just about any dk or light worsted yarn will work nicely. The stitch looks like stranded colorwork, but in fact it is an easy Brick and Mortar Stitch. No stranding required.
