     What I did is started with a basic pattern and improvised a bit.

     The black and white squares and the general construction of the blanket are all from this pattern: http://www.knittingatknoon.com/afghanpatt.html
     It is a join as you go mitered square pattern that I have used often and enjoy.

     The bigger red blocks are 30 stitches wide and 60 stitches high in garter stitch. I used the intarsia technique to add the letters in white to the squares.

     This is my graph of the Alabama A: http://blogs.thetucker.com/knit/files/Bama.jpg

     In garter stitch, twice as many rows are roughly the same size as a number of stitches. So for each square on the graph, I did one stitch and two rows (one knit, one purl).
