It looks like a sweater, and functions like a cowl or scarf—in other words, it’s Cecelia Campochiaro’s homage to the venerable accessory known as the dickie.

When you slip it over your head and add a jacket, it looks like you’re wearing a cozy pullover with lushly marled gradient stripes and chewy basketweave texture.

Think of it as a sweater you can get without having to make the back, or those pesky sleeves.

Sweater + scarf = swarf!
