Malabrigo March Modish Cowl

My Malabrigo March Madness knitting is off to a great start. By March 2nd, I'd already finished my first project - a Modish Cowl, which is a lovely color block stitch cowl design from Stephen West.

My version is knit in Malabrigo Twist - colors Pearl Ten and Manzanilla Olive. I just love the contrast from the pops of acid green.

I made a few slight modifications:

  • shortened the final MC section by about half
  • completed 8 ridges in CC edging
  • switched MC & CC for opposite edging and completed 8 ridges
  • seamed with a quick single crochet edge to match the rest of the seams

I'm loving the bold blocks of colour, espcially that eye catching acid green!
