Got myself a little treasure today 😍
I've never knitted with Malabrigo yarn and I'm full with ideas what to create. What is your favourite project with variegated yarn?

@LePetitAlpaga definitely a Musselburgh hat. A perfect canvas to show off the prettiest yarns.

@LePetitAlpaga I also bought my first Malabrigo yarn recently. Still unsure what i want to do with it. I bought two colorways 🙈

No recommendation, just a remark:

Personally, I like simple knitting stitch patterns with variegated yarn the best.
To my eyes, an elaborate stitch pattern distracts from the beauty of variegated yarn and vice versa.

Happy knitting!

@[email protected] That's some great advise. I think the more elaborate I'd dare to go is a simple drop stitch pattern. I really want the yarn to shine 😉

@LePetitAlpaga forgive the self promotion, but I designed this pattern years ago specifically to showcase the beauty of variegated yarns, Malabrigo in particular. I absolutely adore their yarn.

Pasando pattern by Melissa J. Goodale

Slipped stitches go passing, or pasando as we say in Spanish, across this cozy shawl and hat duo. The asymmetric shawl is worked from tip to edge on the bias causing the slipped stitches to slant. The same effect is created in the hat using 1x1 cables, passing the slipped stitches in front of the garter background. All these slipped stitches mean it looks great in variegated as well as solid colors.

@[email protected] It's lovely! Thanks for the hint. I love the orange colorway you chose 😍

@LePetitAlpaga thanks! If memory serves it’s called Volcan. I fell in love with the colorway when I saw it.
