Autumn Comfortghan

[Schmetterling]

Originally I called this by a different name when I wrote it in spring but I wasn't happy with it. Finally I changed to Autumn Comfortghan-much better!

 

This is my first written pattern and I'm terribly excited! Enjoy, and please do let me know of any questions!

It looks like a nice afghan to have a cup of tea :teaand a good book while watching it snow outside. Autumn Leaves is a perfect name for it! If it was done in pastels, Spring Fling would have been a good name, .
