A “stripe” is a strip of knitting that is used in conjunction with other strips (in the same or other designs) to create a bedspread. They can also be used in conjunction with counterpane squares.

The pink sample photo shows just a few repeats of the pattern. It can be knit as long as desired.

The original version of this pattern calls for 4 pounds of size 10 cotton but doesn’t say what size bed the cover is intended for.

The version of the pattern presented in the KnitWiki contains modern knitting terms and a chart.
