I’ve been wanting to get started on my Rhinebeck sweater, but I was struggling to hit gauge. I just learned some folks consider Malabrigo Rios a DK instead of Worsted. I added some scrap mohair and held the strands double, and that made all the difference. #knitsky #showmeyourkmits 🧶

Laying on my white and green bedspread are two gauge swatches knit in the round of Malabrigo Rios in the color Lapacho, which is pink. The top is too small, about 3.5”, and the bottom has a blue mohair added to make the gauge swatch the correct dimensions of 4”.
