Pattern Description:
Believe in the mood enhancing power of color! Choose your favorite shade from the vivid palette of Malabrigo Susurro and let it give you a boost. This breezy yarn is soft and light, making it the ultimate Summer yarn. Susurro is 50% Mulberry silk, 25% Merino, and 25% Linen – it’s the fusion of these 3 very different fibers that results in an amazing depth of color, giving the yarn an almost metallic sheen. Knitting the Shimmer of Silk Bolo Bandanna on size 9 needles allows the yarn more room to breathe – key during the heat of Summer. The bandanna’s decorative eyelet edge creates a delicate and stylish touch.
Adding the JUL cuff as a bolo creates a unique look. Wear it to the front, turned to the side or in the backwards preventing the sun from hitting the delicate skin of the neck. The cuff secures it for endless hours of easy wear and it slips easily on and off without being undone.
