Knitting Pattern: Chunky Green Cowl

I really can’t go near my favorite San Francisco yarn store, Imagiknit, without buying something. The struggle is usually to limit myself to just one yarn, if I don’t have a specific project in mind!

On my last trip I picked up this gorgeous Malabrigo yarn. I’ve been thinking about making the leap into chunky knitting lately (up until now, I think the largest needles I had ever used were a US 10) and this yarn was enough to entice me!

These pictures really don’t capture the depth and gorgeous color saturation with this yarn. It’s a gorgeous aquatic swirl of lime green with the deepest teal blue. All the colors in this line were beautiful and it was almost impossible to choose just one! Luckily, a quick look in my wallet usually makes it seem a lot more possible…

Since this was $22/90 yards I could only afford one skein and had to make sure I made something that I would definitely wear. The yarn was also so incredibly soft I wanted to make sure that whatever I made would be worn right against my skin.

So, without further ado, I reveal my Chunky Green Cowl.

Once again, the picture above is washing out the color and not doing it any justice whatsoever. The photo below is really the one that is closest to what it looks like in reality.

I did a garter stitch on single point needles until I ran out of yarn. I put a single twist in it before I stitched it together to turn it into an infinity scarf.
