Malabrigo Day 2026 is on the way! Mark your calendars for October 24, and get ready for a day of loving the bright, colorful world of Malabrigo Yarn. As part of our celebration of Malabrigo Day, we have an exclusive-to-Cowgirl Yarn free crochet pattern: the Go-To Hat!

The Pattern

Highly textured with ribbing that fits nice and cozy, the Go-To Hat is fun to stitch and results in a gorgeous hat. Add a pompom for fun, or keep it simple. This pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters. 

This pattern is available free exclusively to Cowgirl Yarn customers through November 3, 2026. Click the button below to get the pattern and use code: mday-cowgirl at checkout to get it for free. 

The Yarn

The Go-To Hat uses Malabrigo's Rios yarn. Made with 100% superwash Merino wool, Rios is soft and machine washable. Each skein is hand-dyed, resulting in unique colorways. From deep, earthy tones that reflect rugged mountains to vibrant variegated hues that are reminiscent of a meadow full of wildflowers, there's bound to be a Malabrigo Rios colorway to match your unique spirit. 

In the Go-To Hat pattern, the beauty of the Rios colorways really come through in the textured stitches, while providing cozy warmth for chilly days. 

Happy stitching!
