The Ironwork Cowl is inspired by the stylised natural forms in ironwork patterns during the Art Nouveau era. It can be worn like a traditional cowl around the neck, and also works beautifully as a warming layer spanning the upper body – almost cape-like – over a long-sleeved T-Shirt.
The cowl features a unique shape - a split border, accentuating the arm, is worked in ribbing and a couple of cables before transitioning into the stranded colorwork pattern. The top echoes the bottom rib.
