Brantley

Introducing the “Brantley” cowl, a stunning stranded color work accessory designed for knitters who seek both beauty and functionality. This cowl features a unique knitted lining that cleverly conceals the floats, resulting in a beautifully finished product. The double-layered fabric not only adds extra warmth but also allows for versatile styling; you can wear it reversed or elegantly folded halfway to showcase the lovely lining. Crafted in one continuous tube, the cowl is hemmed and seamed using a three-needle bind-off technique, ensuring a professional finish.
