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.
