The pattern of the blanket consists of the following: a wide red strip followed by a narrow dark blue stripe, followed by a wide royal blue stripe. This is followed by lines of white and gold, then narrow dark blue and red stripes, than another pair of gold and white lines. After this is another wide blue line and another narrow blue line. Then the pattern repeats.
Down the center of each wide red stripe are three thin, dark blue lines. Inside of each royal blue stripe is narrower green stripe, each with a series of pink geometric designs down the middle. Each gold stripe contains three sets of the same geometric design. The design is made up of a diamon shape with an angle on each side of the diamond. The shapes are made up of lines of white, dark blue, pink, green, red, yellow, and royal blue stripes.
