This elegant wrap is reminiscent of the cloak a medieval lady might have worn to ward off the castle’s stony chill. As versatile as it is warm, this thick and comforting piece can be worn open off the shoulders, clasped loosely across one shoulder, or wrapped tightly around the other. Even when shaped as a hood, it is wide enough to drape sumptuously over the back of the neck for continued warmth. Double it and you’ll have a thick and twisty cowl for the coldest winter night on the moor. When you’re home at the fireplace again drape it over your legs for an extra blanket layer until you’re warmed through.

Knit in smooth, woven-look Linen Stitch, this piece is worked in the round in a spiral. The roped edgings are knit separately and stitched into place. A filigree hook-and-eye clasp finishes this sophisticated wrap and gives it an extra bit of weight and visual appeal.
