The Hoover blanket
Knitty offers us a pattern for a lovely double-knitted baby blanket, as made by first lady Lou Henry Hoover. The pattern comes from a letter written by Mrs. Hoover to a woman who had seen her knitting one of the blankets and inquired about it; the lucky woman also received a doll-sized blanket, knitted by Mrs. Hoover to demonstrate the double-knitting technique.
