The Azalea Cowl is the perfect project to use up those precious skeins of luxury yarns. Here we’ve used some yummy Malabrigo Silky Merino, one of the softest and most luxurious yarns around. Whatever yarn you choose, make sure it has a nice drape and is soft next to the skin.

Azalea knits up quickly in a beautiful lattice lace pattern, making it the a perfect little luxury Christmas gift. The hard part will be parting with it, better make two!
