One skein of Malabrigo Rasta or Cascade Spuntaneous makes at least two headbands – one for you and one for them? Headband Twinsies!

Both of these yarns are made from buttery soft, super-bulky merino wool – perfect for a headband!

FREEBIE Bulky Mobius Cowl

Bulky Mobius Cowl

Our Bulky Mobius Cowl is a great little last minute gift. It works up fast on 10mm/US15 needles and the mobius technique makes it entertaining. The yarn, Malabrigo Rasta, is stunning: it’s buttery soft and I’ve never seen a skein that didn’t knit up like a Monet painting. Plus, it’s a one-skein project!

FREEBIE Really Quick Mitts

Really Quick Mitts

I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to feel the holiday pressure – only two weeks away! Don’t worry, it’s doable, you just need to shift your focus to projects that work up fast with thick yarns. We designed the Really Quick Mitts a few years ago for just this purpose, and they’re still going strong!

FREEBIE Mega Rib Hat

Mega Rib Hat

Fast, simple, thick, super soft, cozy – this project is holiday GOLD! One skein of Malabrigo Rasta is more than enough to make a hat (if you’re making a few hats hold on to your leftovers and you can make another hat, pair of mitts, wristlets or a cowl out of them). If hand dyed aesthetic isn’t your style try buttery soft Cascade Spuntaneous, it’s very similar to Rasta.

Yarn Options

Malabrigo Rasta: 1 skein (hand dyed 100% merino wool)

Cascade Spuntaneous: 1 skein (100% merino wool)
