This dickie can be made with any Aran/worsted (4) yarn of your choice. I personally would recommend the yarn I used because of things like fit, drape, texture, etc. The smallest details are considered in the end result when I design handmade pieces. Think of it as a recipe. If one ingredient is changed, then the final result can be different. Sometimes dramatically. I still encourage you to be creative.

The Mountain Armor is a modern take on a classic design. This knit design is based off a dickie concept. One of my favorite things is to refine or put a spin on something vintage, classic, or nostalgic, and see how it conforms to today’s times. Dickie’s were an odd piece of fashion back in the day for men. A false shirt front. The cables here help keep some of the masculinity. The length helps keep the tradition of a standard scarf. The versatility comes in with the neck portion being a cowl. A variety of simple stitches helps keeps this knit piece fun and interesting. There is no back to this design. It is worn as an accessory over garments.
