Gully

• Product description

  For transitional weather or days when you just want a touch of accent color and woolly comfort, Gully makes a light and understated accessory. Deep and waffly brioche stitch punctuated with slantwise panels gives soft and fluid structure to this shaped cowl, which fits closely about the neck. The piece is knit flat, with tiers of decreases creating a taper, and seamed. A ribbed cable cast-on worked with two strands of yarn yields a strong and stable edge. Gully comes with written directions.
