I’ve always been obsessed with oversized, chunky turtlenecks and this honeycomb cable pattern is one of my all-time favorites, so I decided to combine them for the best accessory EVER!

This dickie (or is it dickey?) is like wearing an awesome sweater without getting stuck knitting on sleeve island, and it looks fantastic peeking out of a jacket or coat. Super squishy and bulky cables, with NO CHUNK under your jacket. Talk about a WIN!

This is the perfect transitional accessory into the colder months, it has a large squishy neckline with soft structure that folds over for a snuggly turtleneck. Soft shaping allows this neck warmer to stay in place under your jacket without the bulk, and the chunky honeycomb stitch pattern gives tons of visual interest peeking out of your jacket, vest, or coat.

You totally need this in your life. I wanted to design something that covered up that space left open when wearing a vest or coat, without the bulky profile of an entire sweater underneath. After playing around with a few styles, this one made me happy! Now I also wear this under blazers over just a thin cami too… all the warmth and style, none of the bulk!

P.S. If you’re not into giant turtlenecks, make a shorter, mock neck, it’s just as cute!
