Worked flat and seamed together, this unisex neck-and-chest-warmer knits up quickly on big needles. For best results, choose a sports or DK weight yarn that contains a fluffy fiber such as mohair. The sample used a handspun (by me) silvery-colored kid mohair plied with a variegated natural-color alpaca.

The neck part of this garment is 4” tall; the entire dickey measures 10” from top of neck to bottom of chest in front, 7¾” in back and at shoulders. The bib is deep enough to give good coverage beneath a blazer’s lapels.
