Update: While we originally designed the Macro Cowl using Crazy Sexy Wool, we now highly recommend Malabrigo Rasta for this project. Rasta offers the same dramatic, super-bulky scale you love, but with Malabrigo’s signature hand-dyed depth and a slightly softer hand-feel. You’ll get the same cozy result with even more stunning color dimension.
Pro tip: bulky wool + big needles makes the gift knitting go faster! Allow us to introduce you to the Macro Cowl knit in fabulous Crazy, Sexy Wool!
This extra chunky cowl is a speedy, seed stitch knit - if you can work the knit and purl stitches, you can make this cowl in just a few hours!
We like big wool and we can not lie...and we think you'll love Crazy Sexy Wool as much as we do!
Bulky knits are so on trend right now. Not only do they look great on everyone, but they'll keep you warm as toast on a cold winter day!
Crazy Sexy Wool is soft and smooth, and comes in a range of bold, bright colors, fun marls and speckles, as well as traditional solid colorways. Just one big, 87-yard ball is plenty for knitting a hat or a cowl!
To knit the Macro Cowl, you'll need:
- 1 skein Malabrigo Rasta (Original sample shown in Crazy Sexy Wool; Rasta is our recommended substitute for the same gauge and result).
