This luxurious cowl, knit in Malabrigo Mecha, a bulky, colorful yarn, uses a simple repeating slip-stitch pattern that enhances the beautiful color of this sumptuous yarn. The cowl is perfect for gifting — it uses just one skein of yarn for the small size, knits up quickly, and with a beautiful yarn like Malabrigo Mecha, would make a perfect gift for a special friend.

The cowl takes advantage of the beautiful color variations in this yarn. The slipped stitches are crossed every few rows to enhance those gorgeous colors. The pattern begins and ends with a mistake-rib pattern that seamlessly flows into the slip-stitch design.

There are three sizes available — the smallest size sits very close to the neck and uses one full skein of Malabrigo Mecha. The medium size is slightly looser and the largest size allows the lovely fabric to drape from the neck.
