When you need a stylish cover-up for happy hour or for fireworks, or simply for a walk in the woods with a photographer :), consider yourself a “fawncho”, as nicknamed by the creative designer.
I think this is ever so sweet and is perfect for your stash remnants. Not so bad, either, to hone such stitches as duplicate stitch, french knots, and running stitches, skills I learned years, ago (and haven’t used). The rowan scottish tweed 4 ply held triple, the pure wool DK sport weight and worsted weights held double make for a delightful alternative, reminiscent of the picture sweaters of years gone by. (Anyone out there remember Pappagallo’s, a high-end shoe store but also with a line of hand-knitted sweaters, typically classic in style with pictures?)

ADDED NOTES due to questions:
The fawn is done in string intarsia, first. Let the lengths just be; no bobbins needed. The tricky thing is that it is knitted in the round. So, with each row, you are beginning and ending with the color of the fawn and/or its highlights as you are certainly not going to carry those colors on to the back. When it is all said and done, it looks puckered. The pattern suggests that this will likely be the case. So, the next step is to block it. And, when it is dry, (I always towel block) you can see where there are “holes”. You clean it up with all the fancy doodads like duplicate stitch and embroidery. This was not long in the making but I noticed I became fussy to make the face look as sweet as it does (I think I redid the eyelids three times with three different colors) and to deal with the imperfections. I think it is so adorable and is amazingly comfortable for my happy hour in the back yard!
