Let's Play Two

Cub Fans from every generation will recognize the iconic phrase, "Let's play two!" famously exclaimed by one of the greatest Chicago Cubs players of all time, Ernie Banks. There's nothing quite like the thrill of attending a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, especially on a sunny day. However, as the weather can often turn chilly—even in the springtime—true fans must be prepared. That’s why we've designed a fantastic pair of mittens perfect for those brisk game days! These mittens are not only practical but also a stylish way to show off your Cubs pride, whether you're cheering in the stands or watching from home during late October playoff games!

**Size:** Adult small/medium, suitable for teenagers
**Needles:** Use size 2, double-pointed needles (you’ll need 4 for this project)
**Yarn:** Choose sport weight yarn. You'll need two skeins in contrasting colors for the best effect. (Note: Using larger needles and thicker yarn will result in larger mittens, perfect for those who prefer a cozy fit!)
**Gauge:** 7 stitches x 7 rows = 1 inch. Be sure to check your gauge to ensure your mittens fit as intended!

Next time you head to a Cubs game, or simply want to showcase your team spirit at home, these mittens will keep your hands warm while you root for your favorite team. Grab your yarn, needles, and let’s knit a pair of these adorable mittens to wear with pride as you cheer on the Cubs!
