I’m so excited for you guys to see the Franck shawl, it was the piece I designed to wear on my wedding day and named after the family I married into. It’s a knitted piece that I will cherish forever, and I hope you enjoy the knitting process as much as I did!

This rectangular shawl is worked sideways, then you PU sts on each long edge to add a shawl collar and a border. It’s a simple knit, with lots of rhythmic brioche rib and garter. The shawl collar has some short row shaping to give it that really nice shape, but it’s simple and easy to do. The end result is a beautifully cozy rectangular shawl with a collar to keep your neck warm while you’re all wrapped up.
