Tuck in for Mum

Wanted to make a neck cover for my Mum, but not be too warm. She likes to cover up a scar on her neck, and even in the warmest weather tends to overdress to do it. I thought I would try making a Tuck in, or Dickie as we used to call them, from a nice cotton yarn.

I found Drops Cotton Viscose in Stockholm on my last visit, and purchased two balls for this. Using the ever faithful old Patons Accessories Book number 215. I had to go down a needle size to acheive the desired tension (usual for me with cotton). This yarn has a lovely sheen, but is very 'splitty' and easily becomes untwisted too.
