The Barn Owl is the perfect thing to throw on when it gets a little chilly; when you need a little something to take the edge off the cold. It is rustic but beautiful, reminiscent of woodland birds and lonely farmsteads. This is a timeless staple that will be brought out again and again for sitting by the fireside and tramping through the wilderness.

It is knit top-down in one piece from the collar in stockinette, displayed inside out to show reverse stockinette when worn. The bottom hem features a split hem for comfort and style. Sleeves are wrist length and length is adjustable.
