Knit something special for your inner flapper! The 1920s-inspired knitwear adventure continues with this lovely cowl inspired by the career of a famous female fashion designer of the era.

Rising from poverty to the height of success in her profession, Simone Mirman began her training at fifteen, and became one of the leading Parisian milliners of the 1920s and 1930s. A talented artist, Simone had a reputation for designing hats to flatter even the most ‘challenging’ faces. This cowl, with its soft drape and stylized floral embellishments, will complement any number of hat styles.
