Free Knit Dickey Pattern

Be aware of the tension or gauge. It’s important.

My neck measures 16 inches. In 2 x 2 ribbing it needs a bit of ease so if you look at the tension of 20 st = 4 inches so cast on of 46 stitches would make the neck measurement 8 inches! I’ve made this successfully with a cast on of 80 stitches. Otherwise it’s not a bad pattern.

• Thank you for sharing your experience with this pattern. Although the gauge is given for stockinette stitch and at 20 st = 4 inches would be 9.5 stitches; we agree that is still quite tight. We will be forwarding your notes to the design team for further review. We are glad to hear you found a way to make the pattern work for you, and apologize for any inconvenience.

Great for beginners

I am a fairly beginner knitter and this pattern was easy to follow and turned out great .

The instructions do not match the image at all. It is supposed to be knitted in double rib, the whole piece and the pic shows moss and garter stitch

• The image does match the written instructions. This dickey is knitted from the neck down and seamed. The first 8 inches of it are completed in a 2x2 rib. The 8 inches is to allow for foldability (as shown on the model). Once that's completed, the body is worked in stockinette stitch with garter stitch borders on the edges. The garter stitch helps the stockinette lay flat and not roll on you. Once you've worked the required length you complete the piece with 6 rows of garter stitch. Again, the garter helps the fabric behave and not roll. You'll make two pieces, a front and a back, with both pieces being worked similarly. The front piece does have shaping that the back does not but the fabrics are the same: 2x2 ribbing for the neck, garter edge stitches with a stockinette center, and a garter border at the bottom. Once both pieces are completed, you'll seam them. There is no moss stitch included in this pattern but if you wanted to use that in place of the garter stitch you could. It would have the same effect in keeping the stockinette from rolling and provide visual texture.

ROW 20: K5 P20 TURN Leave rem Sts. unworked. ROW 21: Knit across all Sts. 76 st. At the end of row 20 when I turn I have a p row to work on. Should the instructions be: ROW 20: K5 P to last 5 stitches, Knit 5 THEN work form ***to *** as give for back?
