The Brook Wrap was designed as the ultimate layering piece. Versatile enough to throw on over a t-shirt on a summer’s evening or wrap warmly over a knitted roll neck in the winter. The tie waist, which fits through the slits created in the stitch pattern gives the option to cinch in the waist (or you could even replace it with a thin belt) to keep things looking stylish. It would look equally striking in vibrant brights – perfect for a fun festival summer cover up… or even pastels for a touch of warmth on a spring day. The options are endless, and I can’t wait to see your version!

The name was inspired by the stitch pattern, its undulating ridges and waves reminded me of a brook winding its way through the landscape, equally at home reflecting the sunrise on a cold frosty morning or as a welcome spot to cool down on a hot summer’s day.
