The yarn is from La Bobineuse, or rather from its predecessor, Yarn Magasin. I bought the yarn eons ago, when it was a dollar a pound. It is unplied, leftover, fine-gauge, industrial yarns wound together to make approximately worsted weight yarn. I then used several strands of that together to make this blanket.

Every row began with sl 1 knitwise and ended with p1.

Decreases are slip-2-knitwise, k1, pass slipped stitches over - a central double decrease.
