Inspired by retro stained glass lampshades often found over billiards and pub tables, Huxley by Meghan Babin gives a groovy pop to your outerwear. This tubular cowl features a flowing motif that transitions through six heritage colors of Forge.

Worked from a small circumference, this cowl is cast on 16” circular needles and worked in a tube from the bottom up. The many ends are encased in the tube, needing only minimal securing before seaming the tube together in finishing.
