Willow

The Willow Cowl is a modern and cozy neck warmer designed to provide the structured look of a turtleneck with the ease of a removable accessory. Featuring a sophisticated vertical ribbing, it offers excellent elasticity and a snug, comfortable fit against the neck. The cowl extends slightly over the shoulders and chest, ensuring it stays tucked neatly under jackets or sweaters without adding bulk to the arms. The body uses a rhythmic combination of stitches to create a deep, architectural rib that mimics a professional knit finish.
