With all her great scholarship and trademark attention to detail, Avery gives us an Ultimate Blanket. Modelled on the famous Bear Claw quilt block, it's impeccably adapted for knitting: really an ideal combination of garter stitch (quite straightforward) and intriguing construction (all those mitred shapes!). And like all the best puzzles, at once exceedingly simple and yet endlessly interesting. Happily worked in a high-quality, easy care gentle-machine-washable merino. Gauge given is over garter stitch.
