Abigale In Fall-A New Free Crochet Pattern

  WooHooo!!!  I finally have a new free crochet pattern to share with all of you! Here is the Abigale in Fall sweater. This sweater you can make in size 6-12 months.
  Fall is here, crisp fall days and night. Fall is my favorite season, I think.  I am blessed to see all 4 seasons here in New York. The color of the leaves are breathtakingly beautiful. What is your favorite season?

You can get this pattern here ad free for $1.50

I received this soft and comfortable yarn from Red Heart as yarn support.  This yarn is easy to work with and creates a nice soft item.  I enjoyed working with this yarn and I love the many colors it has to offer. Please check out this yarn and tell me what you think.
