The Dual Cowl by Maxim Cyr is a ribbed cowl/dickie with a turtleneck that comes down into a triangular shape. It is knitted in two halves of different colours that are then seamed together, giving you the opportunity to achieve two distinct looks with a single cowl. When worn under a coat, the Dual will look like a sweater, bringing the style and the warmth, without the bulk!
Kits are available here.
