Monday: Make This!

  by knitizen

It’s true: I’ve had an on-going love affair with Malabrigo yarn long before I had a yarn shop. When Malabrigo sent their new Fall colors, I was immediately captivated by Liquid Ambar, not technically new to their palette but new to additional bases. Beautiful, majestic jewel tones in superwash workhorse Rios was a no-brainer knit for me. What ideal one skein wonder could I whip up? Felicity immediately came to mind for its all perfect functionality and now-classic slouchy style (dontcha think slouchy has been around long enough now to be called classic? I do.) So  I cast on Thursday morning and in between work and play, completed knitting  by Friday morning. A little tight off the needles (a good thing for a hat!), a light blocking and a couple of days of wearing took care of that.

This is now certifiably my favorite hat and I’m not usually a hat wearer although I make many. This one’s a keeper and the pattern, with its terrific adaptability to other weights and gauges makes it one I’ll re-knit often, maybe in every color of Malabrigo.

Go ahead: cast on, baby! (you knew that was coming, right?)
