Success! Aubree's Twisted Cable Car Seat Blanket.

Huzzahs all around! My crochet instructor has giving me permission to publish the pattern that she wrote for me! It turned out beautifully, and my friend loved it. The baby was born a few weeks ago and she is beautiful. I am hoping my friend posts some pictures of the baby with the blanket. Please note that this is not a full size blanket. I made it small. Something small that can go in the car seat or just to travel.
     This pattern is made for beginners! I know I know, my dear readers, I know! I've been knitting for several years now. Don't judge me! Cables were intimidating! I can't help it. But thanks to my instructor, I am no longer scared of cables!

So there you have it, my dearest readers. A very simple, beginner cabled and twisted blanket! I hope everyone enjoys it and if you do make one, I would love to see it here or posted on my page on Raverly. If I get enough, I would like to make a page showing off everyone's projects. Please note that this is free, and if you make money on it, that is awesome, but please, keep in mind those in need. Hospitals are always looking for donations of this type for children who have nothing. So please, do your part and give back in your community.

HAPPY KNITTING!!!
