Little Frannie is a gorgeus four-color, graphic cowl that Jill Thompson Beach @beachhouseknits designed inspired by a trip she took to San Francisco. We immediately fell in love when we first saw it and it went straight in the top of our kntting project lists!
This cowl comes in two sizes and it would be a good intermediate project for the knitter wanting to work on their stranded colorwork.
Jill designed the Little Frannie cowl in our most precious and softest base A Heavenly Blend, in 25% Cashmere, 25% Alpaca, 50% Aquilana wool in 4 different shades:
Rosaspina, Hocus Pocus, Acquamarina, Cannella
We opened Pre-orders for A Heavenly Blend to make the original version but we also think it would be lovely in our other base A Chic Blend!
We shared a combinations in the stories but the combinations you could choose from are endless!
