Malabrigo is knit

The fact I've knitted the Aquarella Malabrigo already should come as no surprise to you. I just could not resist a minute longer.



A cowl thingy just for moi.

I liked the Dolores Park cowl so based mine on that with a lot of modifications because my Malabrigo was chunkier so I had less yardage than the pattern called for - I cast on a few less , didn't do the increasing , didn't do the same length and used a different needle size - like I said 'based on' the pattern lol. However the end result is a perfectly functional cowl, perfect for the cold mornings we are having at the moment.



Its shorter than your average cowl but does the trick and fits in that pesky chill- inducing collar gap on my winter coat just perfectly.

I love how the edges roll on this - its 3 knit rounds then 1 purl round and it means it curls but not too much. The top edge I only managed 1 purl round then 2 knit rounds and a BO before running out (I had 5cm left....just enough to weave in..... Talk about sweating that BO round!).



"Mmmmm Malabrigo" is certainly fitting. This was simply devine to knit. Soft and buttery - single plied but didn't split on my pointy Knit Picks. I absolutely love how it knit up and I think this simple design shows off the yarn's gorgeous colours and thick/thin texture wonderfully.

Its a super chunky yarn and knit up super quick. A couple of hours from start to finish. My favourite kind of knitting!

I can see myself wearing this every day it's so pretty and functional too. Thank you again Sonia!
