*Patons 1117: Great vintage pram cover knitting pattern in Big Ben, which was a thick wool similar to chunky. The wool was sold in hanks, I am sorry I cannot remember what the hanks weighed. The pram cover with satin ribbon edges measures 24"x 30", the de-luxe travel rug, check one measures56" square and the brushed cover in stripes is 46" x60" and might be a good one to see how the weight of the wool works out as you can always add more stripes or less, if you have not allowed enough.The plain on is also brushed and measures 24" x 30". Wool shops used to brush knitted garment for you, but of course that no longer happens, but you can buy a teasel brush and do it yourself, I am trying to get hold of some, is is easy, if bit labourious to complete, giving a nice effect, but you do need to use pure wool - merino, alpaca, llama, blue faced leicester etc to get the desired effect. Pattern is in good used condition from the 1950's.

Patons 2723: Great  1920's knitting pattern for blankets and covers, blanket wool is used in some patterns, work tension square using double knitting and change needles to get correct tension or try chunky or a thick wool to get size and texture required. There is cot cover measuring 36" x 27", one measuring 46" x 30",  35" x 46 the pram rug only gives a guide to tension required for size. Brushing used to be done at wool shops, now you need to use a brushed thick wool or brush yourself. Use a tessel brush, available at some craft shops, make sure the fabric is closely knitted - a tight even knitted blanket and brush with the little brush to achieve the desired effect. This method can be used on shcarves, hats, mittens and other items of clothing. i am tring to source som tessel brushes for these projects at this moment.
