Knitted Baby Blanket: Baby's Brushed Blanket

-
Knitted baby blanket: This consists of a simple length of plain knitting, to
the surface of which - by the action of the teazle brush, a fur-like finish
is intended to be applied. The completed blanket is very soft and warm.
Materials:-
- 16 ozs. white and 1 oz. blue teazle wool.
- Two no.8 Celluloid Knitting Needles.
- A teazle brush.
- Sufficient ribbon to bind the two ends.
Using the white wool, cast on 150 stitches.
Work 5 inches in plain knitting.
Then knit alternately 2 rows in blue wool and 2 in white, until 5 blue stripes
are worked. Knit 26 inches in the white wool.
Then repeat the stripes and 5 more inches in white. Cast off loosely. Run in
all the ends securely and, with the special teazle brush, gently raise the surface
of the fabric until a fluffy effect is obtained.
Bind each end neatly with the ribbon.
