Grown-up Craft Project

So I was thinking of doing something for myself. This will be great for those cool summer nights that you don't really wanna wear a coat/sweatshirt for! This is a quick and easy project that I will be working on this week. Hope you enjoy the pattern and the quiet time alone it takes to make this.
