Worked in worsted-weight yarn, Closer is a warm and cosy cowl with a beautifully textured finish.

A wide panel of twisted stitches is set against a simple seed-stitch background, adding structure and creating an eye-catching detail. The combination of textures gives the cowl a classic, understated look that is easy to wear.

Closer is designed to fold over all the way around the neck, creating a snug double layer of warmth without feeling bulky. It has all the comfort of wrapping up in a shawl, but stays securely in place—perfect for everyday walks, chilly outings or adding an extra layer on colder days.

Of course if your prefer a shawl…Closer to the Edge Shawl
