English knitted quilts have been famous for a hundred and fifty years, and great ingenuity of pattern is shown in those which have survived. The pattern given here is called Apricot Leaf with Feather Pattern border. In pastel-coloured wool, it would make a wonderful quilt and blanket combined, but almost any yarn, provided it is not too thick, could be used. The original was made of cotton yarn on size 16 [1.625mm] needles.
