This bulky set is knit in a faux rib pattern that creates the bulk and texture of a traditional rib, with a more interesting look and better fit. Before blocking, the stitches will draw in and look somewhat like a standard rib, but blocking will reveal the true pattern and allow the hat and scarf to bloom into their true proportions, generous, squishy, oh-so-wrapable. The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up, and the scarf is knit flat in a single piece.
