Grannie Annie

Introducing "Grannie Annie," a beautifully designed traditional shawl that is knitted from the top down in an elegant semi-circle shape. This cozy and versatile shawl is all about texture, providing both warmth and style. Created using four stunning colors of rustic worsted weight yarn, "Grannie Annie" features one of the most beloved old Shetland patterns, the feather and fan stitch, paired with simple yet effective knit and purl stitches for added depth and visual interest.

"Grannie Annie" was crafted in an exciting collaboration with Laine-et-Tricot, combining classic knitting techniques with modern sensibility and flair.
