This is my pattern for a crochet ‘dickey’ and is in response to a competition I held in October this year. Details can be found on this blog
The dickey is worked in the round and is a fairly quick project. I have used double stranded worsted wool which means it’s exceptionally warm and very practical.
Note:
This pattern is written in US terminology please refer to my Crochet Conversion Chart to change to UK
Use two balls of yarn and crochet simultaneously with both colours/strands at the same time. Join all rounds with a slip stitch.
Materials:
Caledon Hills Worsted Wool 881 Goldenrod 1 skein

This is a wonderful idea!
This is so cute! As weird as it may sound I think I'm going to modify this for my toddler to be a knight for Halloween. I had been looking for a good "dickey" pattern and I'm so glad I stumbled onto this! Hope it works! Plus I might need a cute rhubarb and custard one for myself! Thanks so much for the pattern!!
