Bacci Abracci — which means “kisses and hugs” in Italian — is my love letter to colorwork. Inspired by traditional Latvian motifs but reimagined with a modern feel, this cowl blends vintage and and modern styles in a way that feels both timeless and fresh.
Warm and cozy (it’s fully lined) Bacci Abracci is as fun to wear as it is to knit. Its stranded colorwork flows easily across the fabric with no long floats to trap, making it a wonderful first project for those new to colorwork, while its rhythmic, meditative pattern will keep even experienced knitters interested as it grows beneath their needles.
Elegant, and endlessly wearable, Bacci Abracci wraps you in its old world charm; a perfect combination of style and warmth on a chilly day, it combines approachable stranded colorwork with a fun knitting experience.
Wrap yourself in warmth with Bacci Abracci — one kiss, one hug, one stitch at a time!
