Continue this way,
keep to the cable knitting patterns. Knit length as you need, finishing with 10
rows knit (the same way as the beginning). I sew a pillow-case from white satin for the back side.
Blanket pattern:
To make the blanket
I used the same cable knitting patterns-
Ensign’s Braid and Oxo cable. I knit blanket in two parts which i sew
together with mattress stitch. The width and length depends on your needs. Make
tassels at the ends.
