BeginnerUS TerminologyModular

A knitted blanket with a repeating pattern of 4 short legs (~2 inches long) and 4 long legs (~4 inches long) alternating in a row, causing the fabric to ripple. The blanket is roughly rectangular, 5 feet by 4 feet, with the leg pattern running across the width. Each leg is a slender cylinder, and the blanket surface is a thin textured plane.
