new design: merriment handknit cowl
The Merriment cowl was designed to be a celebration on your needles. In honor of both Malabrigo's and Knot Another Hat’s 20th Anniversaries, I created this tri-color handknit cowl to capture a festive feeling in the classic Malabrigo Rios yarn. It’s a relaxing, satisfying knit that is both engaging and straightforward. The finished handknit cowl is a cozy, circular hug that can be worn long or doubled up around the neck for extra warmth.
Merriment uses one skein each of 3 colors of Malabrigo Rios. And of course, you KNOW I couldn't resist the opportunity to put together some grab-n-go bundles of fabulous color combinations!
