Gilbert(e) Cowl
Timeless patterns are like timeless names: always suitable, always classic, and adaptable to the one who bears them. Gilbert(e) is a versatile, unisex cowl that takes advantage of the traditional perfection of the chevron pattern. A quick knit in bulky yarn, this cowl is both soft and sturdy, suitable for the everyday or for a sophisticated touch to a special outfit. The stranded colorwork pattern and polished i-cord bind off combine to make a heirloom-quality accessory that you will be proud to wear again and again.
