While finishing a blanket in the presents of Henya, I was told that I must post the pattern. I didn't actually have one, because I was just trying to make something fun, and different. After a time I figured out what I did.
So, here it is, a really easy baby blanket that is perfect for ADD.

Knit around
Repeat rounds 3 and 4 until bored, then do one more increase row, followed by a purl row.
Attach colour A
Knit around, in seed, increasing every other row, just as for colour B.
Continue until bored, than repeat colour B.
Alternate between colours A and B until you feel the blanket is big enough, or you are sick of it, knit one round and bind off using Crochet bind off, in the opposite colour.
Gently wash the blanket in cold water with your favorite wool wash or shampoo. Dry and block by placing a few pins to secure each corner. Don’t secure the sides, as this will give it a better drape.
