Abstract:

There is provided an article of headwear to be worn over the head and ears of the individual encircling around the circumference of the individual's neck, and extending down a portion of the individual's chest. The article is formed by connecting two, generally double layered strips of fabric. The upper portion gradually increases in diameter to below the ears, with the diameter being thickest at the spaced points of attachment to the lower portion creating a central opening at the back of the individual's head. The lower portion gradually decreases on both ends and is used to secure the device through a passage way or a wrap method. The article provides protection and warmth to the covered areas and fulfills the function of a headband, ear warmer and scarf with one device.
