Malabrigo March Modish Cowl
Monday, March 7, 2011 at 12:34PM | Breean Elyse
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

Awesome! Love the color blocks. Makes me happy! Perfect stitches.
I'm loving the bold blocks of colour, espcially that eye catching acid green!
i'm very much into color blocking right now - i just did a whole post about it!
