The Faux Ribbed Baby Blanket and Hat are loom knit using Premier Bloom Chunky Self-Striping Floral Print yarn. It’s so much fun to watch the stripes come to life because the faux ribbing on the blanket and hat bodies works up so fast. No purls are used to create fabric that looks like a knit 1, purl 1 stitch! The faux ribbing stitch pattern uses a 2-row repeat of e-wraps and yarn overs, which means you’re only working every other peg. Amazing how much faster that goes!
