Malabrigo Quickies: Our Yearly Themes Begin
This year, Malabrigo Quickies evolves into a series of small, intentional releases— quick projects designed to be cast on right away, each one highlighting a specific idea, technique, or mood.
For 2026, Quickies is organized into three recurring collections:
Color Crush — bold, instinctive, color-led
Lace Lovers — light, airy, and texture-driven
Maxi Mood — bold, chunky knits that make a statement
These collections will return throughout the year, each time with new designs and fresh interpretations. Rather than existing separately, they’ll often appear together — different moods, sharing the same moment.
This release brings together Color Crush and Lace Lovers.
Lace Lovers
Light, airy, and rhythm-driven. Lace Lovers explores openness and movement—projects that highlight the beauty of lace in a modern, wearable way.
Infinite Beanie by Cristiane Bertoluc
A lace beanie that feels both modern and effortless.
The Infinite Beanie plays with openwork texture, creating a fabric that’s light, breathable, and full of movement—perfect for transitional weather or making a bold statement with color. Shown here in Worsted in Fluo and Cereza, it’s a one-skein project that lets vibrant hues take center stage.
It’s the kind of knit that feels simple on the needles, but striking once worn.

Spiral Boot Cuff / Ankle Warmer by Betty Chen
A small project with a clever twist.
These cuffs feature a flowing spiral construction paired with deep ribbing, creating a piece that is both textured and highly wearable. Knit in Rios in Hollyhock, these one-hank cuffs have no top or bottom—just pull them on and go.
They’re quick, satisfying, and perfect for exploring color in a low-commitment way. Whether peeking out of boots or worn at home, they add a playful detail to everyday styling.

About Quickies
Quickies are designed with immediacy in mind — projects you can start without hesitation. They’re approachable in scale, often using just one skein or hank, and meant to deliver that instant satisfaction of casting on something new.
But “quick” doesn’t mean simple — it means focused. Each design highlights a single idea — whether it’s color, texture, or construction.
Looking Ahead
Each collection will return over the coming months—revisited, expanded, and reinterpreted through new designs.
Color Crush, Lace Lovers, and Maxi Mood are just getting started.
