If you love the look of scrumptious, textured layers, this cabled neckwarmer is the perfect fakeout! With a snuggly turtle- or mock turtleneck, you get all the benefits of a sweater under a jacket without the bulk. A dickey is also a great outdoor accessory for active people; super warm coverage around the neck and chest with out the fiddly, flyaway scarf ends. Pattern includes two adult sizes (small/large) and can be easily widened if more warmth is desired.
