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.

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.
