Knitted Blankets: Baby Double Blanket

Knitted Blankets: 'Double fabric', stitch in which this blanket is knitted, is eminently suitable for the purpose. It is done at one operation, is easy to master, while the double fabric produced gives the maximum warmth from a comparatively light weight of material.

No equipment for baby should be considered complete without at least one such 'double fabric' blanket for cot or pram. The original measured 32 inches by 42.

Materials -

• 14 ozs. Beehive fleecy wool.
• Two no.7 Celluloid Knitting Needles.

Cast on 180 stitches.

Work 20 rows plain knitting (for the border).

21st row - K.10 (for the border - repeated at the beginning and end of each pattern row), * insert the needle, as if for knitting into the next stitch, wrap the wool twice round the point of the right hand needle and draw it through the stitch on the left-hand needle, while slipping the stitch off the latter as in ordinary knitting; bring the wool between the needles to the front of the work, slip the next stitch, take the wool between the needles to the back of the work, repeat from * to the last 10 stitches, knit these.

22nd row - Like the 21st row, but slipping the double stitch as one each time (this making one long, loose stitch). Continue repeating the 22nd row until the blanket measures about 40 inches, or the required size.

Work 20 more rows in plain knitting. Cast off.
