Moraga Cowl
Knit with one strand of Malabrigo Sock and another of Malabrigo Silkpaca held together, the **Moraga Cowl** is an exquisite knitting project that starts like a traditional triangular shawl, utilizing a garter tab cast-on (CO). After completing a few repeats of a simple yet elegant lace and garter pattern, this stunning cowl is expertly joined in the round. The pattern includes both video and photo instructions for the joining section, making it easy for knitters of all skill levels to follow along. The natural point of the cowl is gracefully maintained in the round, allowing for a beautiful drape until all stitches are bound off. This design not only highlights the softness and sheen of the yarn but also adds a touch of warmth and sophistication to your wardrobe.
Final Size: Approximately 26” around the neck by 18” long in front, making it a perfect accessory for those chilly days.
Gauge: 24 stitches x 32 rounds = 4” in Stockinette stitch, ensuring your cowl looks just right!
Yarn Requirements: You will need 1 skein of Malabrigo Sock (440 yards / 402 meters, 100 grams / 3.53 ounces, 100% superwash merino wool) in the beautiful color ***Abril***. Additionally, you can opt for 1 skein of Malabrigo Silkpaca (420 yards / 384 meters, 50 grams / 1.76 ounces, 70% baby alpaca, 30% silk) also in ***Abril***, or choose any fingering weight yarn that meets the gauge requirements for your unique version of the cowl.
