    Abstract: A double layer sweater which is knit simultaneously of two independent layers, one being an inner layer, and the other layer being an outer layer. Joining the two layers together is a polygonal-shaped quilting stitch pattern forming insulating pockets between the layers. Each layer is different and may be comprised of a blend of wool and acrylic yarn in the outer layer and a synthetic wicking enhanced yarn, such as polyester or acrylic, in the inner layer, such that there is a hydrophilic inner layer and a hydrophobic outer layer. The inner layer is comprised of synthetic yarn with enhanced wicking features. The outer layer of yarn is treated in a bath of teflon material such that the teflon-coated yarn produces the hydrophobic outer layer. The sweater has the properties of insulation to provide warmth to the wearer; has a water repellant and stain resistant outer layer.
