Is there anything cuter than little pumpkins on a little pumpkin? I doubt it! The Field of Pumpkins children’s pattern was designed around the gorgeous orange, red and yellow colorway of the same name created by Serendipitous Wool Co. With a top down and seamless construction, this pullover knits up in a jiff using DK weight yarn. Pattern includes a colorwork chart with written instructions. Being a small garment with colorwork at the yoke only, this project is great for colorwork beginners!
