My First Free Pattern!

Hi, dearies!  I am happy to share my first free pattern with you.  It is a car seat tent for when you take the baby outside and need to brave the elements.  It's designed to keep the wind or sun out as much as possible.  I don't want to call it a blanket or cover because searches usually turn up the car seat blankets with the two slits to pass the seat belt buckle through.  This tents over the baby.  I made it with a car theme for a little boy.  The car appliques are not my design.  I added a link to the pattern for the appliques.  My pattern is for the car seat tent, and you can add whichever appliques you like.  It is available on Ravelry.  If you are not a member, please register.  It's a great site, and you can add patterns you like to your library to keep track of them as well as find lots of other patterns and even share your creations and projects.

The pattern has not been tested.  Since I have to make another one, I'll clean it up as I use it to make the second car seat tent.  I think it's clear enough for now so that you can get started on one if you're in a rush.  I started it on Friday, January 25, and finished it on Sunday, January 27, all assembled and washed and blocked.

So here...

we...

go!

      Mind you, it's a very rough pattern, but the gist of it is there. I love that stitch for the main pattern. It is very easy, works up fast, and has nice texture. Keep on adding to your WIP's ;)

    Thanks for stopping by and visiting a few minutes ago! I'm your newest Follower. ;)

    I hate that Noro costs so much. I got those two skeins on clearance online a few years ago. I think they were about $9, but they're the big skeins, over 300 yards. It can be a pain to crochet with, but it's always so pretty.

      Welcome! I've admired it, but I haven't purchased it solely due to the price. You got a great deal on those big skeins. I'll shop around locally and online to see where I can get the big deal :)
