Trailing Vine Bedspread Pattern #631

MATERIALS:
1 Pair of steel knitting needles No. 13
Choose one of the following threads:
J. & P. Coats Knit-Cro-Sheen (approx. 58 balls)
Clark's O.N.T. Lustersheen (approx. 44 skeins)
Clark's O.N.T. Knitting and Crochet Cotton (approx. 44 balls)

This amount is sufficient for a double size spread in White or Ecru. Color requires about one-third more.

Gauge: Strips are about 5½ inches wide and require about 150 yards of thread for every 15 inches. Edging is about 3 inches wide and requires about 56 yards of thread for every 15 inches. For a double size spread (about 94 x 106 inches), or a single size spread (about 83 x 106 inches), make the necessary number of strips and then join them together to correspond with measurement.
