Crochet dickey pattern:
Collar:
Ch 23. The chain must measure now about 14 cm. Chain more if needed. If your child’s age is over 6-7 years, make your chain 15 cm.
Row 1: ch 1, starting in the second loop from hook, 23 sc. Turn.
Row 2: ch1, sc, 21 sc blo, sc. Turn (23 sts)
Repeat Row 2 until the stretched piece measures the child’s head circumference length. The unstretched piece measures 36-38 cm. Finish crocheting when a tail and a working yarn are on the same side.
Ch1 and join two edges with sl st seam: Pick up the back loop of the nearest chain and pick up the chain that is further from you. Pull the yarn through 2 loops and the original loop on the hook (make a slip stitch). Keep repeating all the way across until you reach the end.
Shoulder area:
From this point, we start working in rounds.
Round 1: Holding collar wrong side out, ch1, sc in each row around.(48 sts)
Do not worry if you get a different number than I got, the only condition is to have the even number of stitches. Join with sl st.
Use the following formula to calculate any size of the dickey:
Total 48 sts.
48-4 raglan stitches= 44 sts
44/10 =4.4 sts
4.4*2=8.8 ~9 sts – one shoulde, and 9 sts another shoulder.
44 -9 -9 = 26 sts
26 /2 =13 sts front part and 13 sts back part.
Place stitch markers as follows: count 7 sts, pm, 9 sts, pm, 13 sts, pm, 9 sts, pm, 6 sts.
Round 2: ch3, dc into the same stitch, 6 dc in next 6 sts, 3 dc in next st (remove stitch marker), 9 dc in next 9 sts, 3 dc in next st (remove stitch marker), 13 dc in next 13 sts, 3 dc in next st (remove stitch marker), 9 dc in next 9 sts, 3 dc in next st (remove stitch marker), 6 dc in next 6 sts, join to first dc.

Round 6: ch3, dc into the same stitch, 9 dc in next 9 sts, 2 dc in next st, fpdc in next st, 2 dc in next st, 15 dc in next 15 sts, 2 dc in next st, fpdc in next st, 2 dc in next st, 19 dc in next 19 sts, 2 dc in next st, fpdc in next st, 2 dc in next st, 15 dc in next 15 sts, 2 dc in next st, fpdc in next st, 2 dc in next st, 9 dc in next 9 sts, join to first dc.

At this point, the length of my raglan line reached 8 cm which is perfect for a 4-5-year-old child. If you are crocheting dickey for 2-3 years old, the perfect length is 7 cm.
