Cabled Baby Jacket

I must confess—this is the first pattern I ever published. I had designed it for my cousin's baby, and knit it up in a soft baby-blue color. At the time, I was just learning cables, and couldn't get enough of them! Can you tell? I couldn't stop working on it, and when the CEY folk saw it, they asked me to write up the pattern for them to publish—since at that time they were distributing the Colour 4 Me yarn... I was a little nervous about the whole pattern writing thing, but don't fret—it's been tech edited.
