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. A wickability inner layer has a capillary action to remove moisture on the skin moving through the inner layer to the outer layer and then evaporated away so that the wearer of the sweater feels dry as well as warm.
