"Frankly my Dear" Fichu - Instant Download PDF
Atlanta, Georgia. A certain fictional Southern heroine was ahead of her time—“reduce, reuse, recycle” never looked so good as when she used her green velvet drapes, gold trim and tassels to make a fancy dress. Scarlett needed something stunning to wear to convince a charming scalawag to give her money to save her plantation after those nasty carpetbaggers raised her taxes.
Perfect for cool summer evenings or as a modest cover for bare shoulders at a summer wedding, this lacy fichu was inspired by that most famous drapery dress. Knit in a classic feather and fan pattern, is linen fabric is much lighter than velvet drapes but equally fetching as a frame for your own pretty neck and shoulders. With a simple 4 row repeat and only one row of increases and decreases, why fiddle-deedee, it’s quite an easy lace knitting project, even if you’ve never knit lace before! My recipe for yummy peach cobbler is included.
This pattern is also available in the instant download ebook, Deep South Knitting.
