Eleven different colours are used in this blanket. Each one is sometimes knitted and sometimes crochet, giving twenty-two different types of square. Each one represents a different letter of the alphabet.

By identifying groups of letters which appear together, it is possible to crack the code and read the hidden message. It is not easy to do from this photograph but if you want to try, start by trying to identify the squares for the word " the ", which occurs twice. The dark blue crochet square represents a space.
