Little Frannie Cowl PDF Pattern

Little Frannie is a four-color, graphic cowl that is such a fun accessory, inspired by a trip I took to San Francisco with my best friend, Stephanie. I just loved all the gorgeous colors of the houses and murals that we saw and wanted to incorporate them into a colorwork knit project. This cowl comes in two sizes and can be worn all year long depending on the yarn you use.

This cowl would be a good intermediate project for the knitter wanting to work on their stranded colorwork.

This cowl begins with a provisional cast on and is knit in the round. The cowl is then grafted together. It utilizes stranded colorwork.
