Textured Rib Baby Beanie Test Pattern

I've been working on the Patchwork Blanket by Sandi Prosser from the 60 Quick Baby Knits book.

I really, really like the pattern for Block V. Prosser calls it a "textured rib."

I apologize for the cruddy picture. It is difficult to take a nice picture of anything in this peach-colored yarn.

I'm working on modifying this pattern a bit and using it as another Click for Babies beanie pattern.

I normally prefer knitting things flat and seaming them, but I may try doing this in the round soon.

**This beanie pattern has not yet been test knit by anyone other than myself. Please try it and let me know if/when/where you encounter problems.
