A beautiful blanket can be knit with stripes, alternating pink and
white. Knit plain garter stitch, each stripe a yard long; the white
stripes should be the narrowest, eighteen stitches for the white and
twenty-two for the pink. When finished, then work in the white stripes,
a pink rose-bud and a green leaf, as small as possible, then sew all
together, making the blanket a square yard.
