Malabrigo Rios is combined with a solid shade of Jo Sharp's Classic DK Wool in a textured slip stitch pattern that highlights Malabrigo's beautifully variegated colors. The easy to remember Linen stitch pattern creates a wonderfully sturdy, warm fabric that lends this set a nicely finished look. One skein of Rios and two balls of Classic DK Wool are all you need to make both the hat and cowl.
