billie / Leila Raven
Little Billie is sized for wee folk, in our wispiest Finch wool. Leila combined several scrumptious and simple knit/purl fabrics into one on this piece, and included a very cute garter stitch shawl collar, worked simultaneously with the raglan yoke shaping. Worked from the bottom up with easily memorized stitch patterns, this is such a fun knit.
