Tissue Box Kozie

School is almost back in session and that can mean only one thing....Autumn is around the corner!  Maybe that fact will make it easier to crochet in 100+ degree temps.
In celebration of Autumn's return being just around the corner, I made something pumpkin themed.  :)
This Tissue Box Kozie works up really quickly.  It is a great item for decorating your desk without taking up any extra space.
