Lily from Malabrigo is an amazing women’s ruana knit in Rios featuring a border of rice stitches and simple cables linked to a fabulous cable panel across the bodice and the back. Lily is knit flat by first working the fronts from the lower edges to the neck edge, and the stitches are cast on for the center neck edge to join the two pieces, and the back is knit in one piece to the lower back edge. Malabrigo Rios takes the incredible softness of Malabrigo’s yarns and makes it machine-washable!
