Building Blocks Dickey
Download this dickey pattern individually or get it as part of the Building Blocks e-book.
This colorful dickey begins at the top with two-color brioche and garter stitch. Increases and decreases seamlessly shape the collar and expand outward for the yoke. Stripes and textures change in each section for a playful rhythm. This decorative accessory is ideal for using leftover bits of yarn. Cover your ears or fold the neckline for a geometric turtleneck style.
Sizes
One Size
Finished Measurements
20” / 51cm neck circumference, 15” / 38cm long from CO to BO edge, 52” / 132cm yoke circumference.
Yarn
Worsted weight
Yardage
Approximately 340yds / 311m total
The sample uses 7 colors. Each section uses slightly different yardage amounts. Allow approximately 40yds / 37m for each section in the neck and a bit more yardage as the sections expand into the yoke.
Shown in
A variety of worsted weight yarns from Primrose Yarn Co., Jill Draper Makes Stuff, and Orkney Angora St. Magnus DK held together with lace weight mohair/silk
I recommend mixing various bits of worsted or aran weight yarns together for the playful stripes. DK weight would also work fine.
Sections 1, 3, 5, & 7 are striped.
Section 2, 4, & 6 are solid.
Needles
40” US 8 / 5mm circular needle using magic loop method for the neck.
