This 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 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 cowl is a cozy, circular hug that can be worn long or doubled up around the neck for extra warmth.
