Look! A Pattern!

I post infrequently. I'm looking to change that.

Guess what? I had twins! Girls, at that!! Well, warm up the needles, I've got the first (of many, I hope) pattern inspired by my baby girls.

Red Heart Heart & Sole Sock Yarn with Aloe
Size 1 circular or double point needles

Gauge: approx. 7 st/13 rows = 1" square.

CO 48 st. Divide between needles and join without twisting to form rounds.
