Funky Frank set
Introducing the *Funky Frank Set*, a delightful knitting collection that includes a super quick, ultra-warm loop cowl and a stylishly small hat, both perfect for cozying up in chilly weather. The cowl is worked flat in two simple pieces and joined together by two small seams, while the hat is crafted in the round using leftover yarn from your loop project.
Cowl: The cowl features a unique central panel created using a purl-free slipped stitch pattern, and the loop is beautifully enhanced with twisted cables—no cable needle needed! This design not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of flair to your winter wardrobe. The flexibility of the cowl allows you to customize it by adding or subtracting chart repeats, making it adaptable for different styles.
Hat: The warm hat's central panel is made with the same eye-catching twisted cables, while the remainder of the hat is knitted in reverse stockinette stitch. Don’t worry about purling too much; this hat is a quick knit that can be completed in just one hour! Perfect for those last-minute gifts, this hat uses a minimal amount of yarn and is a fantastic way to utilize any leftover yarn scraps. And remember, to make the most of your yarn, be sure to add a charming mini pom pom on top!
The *cowl* is designed to wrap around your neck in a lovely double loop, ensuring maximum warmth and style. You can easily fold the central panel in half or wear it as a double loop, securing it with buttons for a chic look. Whether you choose to wear it casually or dress it up, this cowl is an essential accessory for every knitter's collection.
The *hat* can be styled as a snug beanie, making it an invaluable addition to your winter accessories. It’s particularly ideal for knitters who appreciate the quick satisfaction of finishing a project in no time.
Gauge: (unstretched, after blocking): 19 sts & 40 rows = 10 cm/4 inches in the central panel pattern; 21 sts & 26 rows = 10 cm/4 inches in the twisted cable pattern; 16 sts & 26 rows = 10 cm/4 inches in stockinette stitch when using the larger needle. This gauge information is crucial for ensuring your finished pieces turn out perfectly!
