Amelie
I believe that no stylish wardrobe is complete without a dickey.
This turtleneck dickey keeps your neck and chest warm in style and it will look great when wearing with an open-throated coat.
Amelie is worked flat, bottom-up in two pieces. The back piece is shorter than the front. They are joined together at the shoulders using Kitchener stitch, then stitches are picked up to work the generous turtleneck in the round.
