If you have a friend with a baby on the way, I have the sweetest little Baby Blanket & Hat knitted gift set<\/strong> to make using a brand new self striping yarn that creates floral patterns as you knit.<\/p>\n

Premier Bloom Chunky<\/a> is printed yarn that creates a floral pattern and stripes when knitted. It gives the effect of stranded colourwork without having to mess with multiple yarns.<\/p>\n

It’s chunky nature (12ply\/bulky) means that it works up super quickly on large needles – perfect for churning out projects fast, especially if there is a baby on the way.<\/p>\n

The yarn is quite soft and squishy, with just a tiny bit of fluffiness. 100% acrylic, so it’s machine washable (gentle cycle), although I’d probably hand wash this personally to prevent pilling that may be caused by a machine wash.<\/p>\n

Simple knitting patterns that show off the stripe design are best suited to this yarn. The plainer the better. If the stitch pattern is too fussy, it will obfuscate the floral print and you lose all the charm.<\/p>\n

Similarly crochet would not really show off the best patterning in this yarn (an exception may be moss stitch).<\/p>\n

When choosing a project to make from this yarn, keep in mind that the width of the stripes will depend on the stitch count. The more stitches the thinner the stripes, and conversely, less stitches across means thick stripes.<\/p>\n

I found, when designing my baby blanket pattern that around 60 stitches gave a great pattern repeat.<\/p>\n

The colour range of this yarn is quite pastel and mostly skews feminine. But there are a handful of colourways that are more gender neutral if you prefer.<\/p>\n

Knitting with this yarn was never boring. I quite enjoyed how the stripes developed and it was fun seeing the rows of flowers ‘bloom’ before my eyes.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy knitting up this easy baby gift set, it’s a simple pattern that showcases the best of Premier Bloom Chunky’s<\/a> patterning ability.<\/p>\n
