Scarf collar - comfortable dickey

With the onset of the first cold weather, we think about warm and stylish accessories. In this regard, a wonderful solution is a cozy scarf-collar, or a dummy, which will warm your neck and shoulders, and will also become an elegant finish to the image.

Dickey scarves come into fashion in the mid-20th century thanks to Christian Dior, who harmoniously complemented this accessory with a coat-coat from the New look collection. The idea was supported by Karl Lagerfeld, who in the 60s developed a whole line of similar models. In the 80s a scarf-collar is gaining more and more popularity, since even a not very experienced needlewoman can easily knit this thing. In the 90s, the shirt-front gradually gives up its position to a stylish dream and only a few years ago reappears in adult and children's wardrobe.

The main advantage of a practical scarf collar is that it fits perfectly on the neck and does not slip. But this often happens with traditional scarves, especially when you are actively moving. It is for this reason that the shirt-heads wear on hunting and fishing, or simply on nature in the winter.

The scarf collar is a popular children's accessory. Moms willingly knit or buy them to their children. After all, even during a short walk, the scarf can fall off the baby’s neck or end up on his nose, which increases the chance of getting sick.

The traditional model of the shirtfront is a short, slightly covering the shoulders of a poncho, equipped with a high neck, tight to the neck. However, today there are more voluminous options (close to snood or a scarf tube), creating a multi-layered effect. Such accessories, if desired, can be transformed into a hood. Traditionally, dummy scarves are knitted, it can be both small and large knitting with different patterns.

Sports scarf-dickey - a great addition to the sets for winter workouts in the fresh air. Usually this is knitted things of single-cut sewing. For athletes, the options with a hood, tight-fitting neck and head are also very convenient - they successfully replace the cap.

A scarf with buttons can also be tight-fitting or more voluminous. The most practical is the short dickey, which can be easily fastened and unfastened. The long scarf-collar, as a rule, is equipped with several buttons and fits almost any clothing.

The ideal material for the knitted front is the wool blend yarn (for example, half consisting of acrylic). Wool is a natural raw material, it does not interfere with air circulation, it permits moisture and perfectly saves heat, but it has one major drawback - woolen things roll and stretch in the process of wearing. Acrylic additives also prevent this.

Scarf collars made of thick yarn are best kept in shape - they are thick and, moreover, warm up even in the bitter cold.

Fur options can be made from both natural (usually short-haired) and synthetic fur.
