This cowl lets you keep your sea legs all winter. Cables like pulleys and cheerful bands of color like so many interlocking lines keeping sails aloft, this hard working accessory means that the brisk winds carry you merrily on. The cowl is worked flat and then bound together with versatile loops of a contrasting color that let the wearer play with the shape and the drape.
