This

It is soft, lightweight, very versatile, and has a cosy feel about
it. Lyn knit hers in two strands of Double Knit Sirdar wool 1 White
strand and 1 pale blue strand knit together.
Using 8mm needles (old uk size 0). |
The finished
garment weighed 265 grm (91/4 oz). The finished size of Lyns’ blanket was
66cm x 66cm (26" x 26") and the depth of the hood at the side seams 30.5cm
(12").
Knit the square according to the wool you have available, and use needles
to suit.
Can be knit with or without the hood.
