this looks very cute and very do-able, but where can i look for help on learning abbreviations? i fear i won't be able to do much until i learn those first. :)

For Bonnie - here is a good webpage with all the crochet abbreviations. http://www.crochetnmore.com/123basics.htm

If you don't like this page, just google crochet abbreviations or pick up any crochet beginners book.

As for this pattern. VERY cute! I was hesitant to make this because I don't like to sew, but I'm glad I did. It works up fast and I love how it varies depending on the weight of the yarn. This is a keeper for sure :-) Very easy, very cute. Thanks!
