I am always looking for cool yarn to use in hot weather. Malabar is a cotton silk blend that is just right to work with in hot weather, and is so squishy and soft that it is difficult to put down!

This cowl uses just one 100g ball of Malabar. You can make it in a couple of evenings, so is perfect for that last minute gift (if you can part with it).

It is approx 165cm long by 11cm deep, so it can be worn long and loose or wrapped around twice for more warmth.

It is written in English crochet terms only, but does reference US terms.

Look out for a coupon code on the Agrarian Artisan forum, giving 50% discount until the end of 2015.
