Pattern Description

The dickey is knitted top-down following the raglan-yoke principle, then the front and back are worked separately. The neckline is cast on using 3.25 mm needles and worked in 2×2 rib to the desired height, then false knitting is used to increase stitches. The yoke features cable crosses and an aran pattern repeat, knit in the round with increases along the shoulder line. After the yoke, the front and back are divided and worked in turning rows to length, finishing with an I-Cord bind-off for neat edges.

Care

Wash the item in warm water with a special wool product containing lanolin from Hollywool. Dry horizontally.
