This dickey consists of the face of a tiger in the front and tiger stripes in the back and is knitted with two colours in stranded colourwork. After that, the eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered using duplicate stitch.

It is a fun garment to make, much easier than a sweater and the final result is a stylish accessory which looks like it has been painted with yarn!
