DICKEY
With circular or DP needles use your
preferred method to loosely cast on 80 sts.
My Cast On Method
With Crochet hook make an 80 st chain,
join to make a circle making sure not to twist. Place marker.
Round 1: With 11
UK, 3.25 mm, US 3 needles purl 1
st into each chain (80 sts). |
TURTLE NECK
Rounds 1,3,5&7: Purl.
Rounds 2,4&6: Knit.
Rounds 8-14: work K2,P2 ribbing.
Change to a size smaller needle and continue in K2,P2 ribbing until
work measures 5” from cast on edge, approximately 25 rows. (Adjust
length here longer or shorter).
Change to larger needle and work 1 Round as follows:
Purl 40 sts for the front. INCREASE one st, *knit next 2 sts, Inc 1
st. Repeat from * across next 40 sts (60 sts) for the back (Total
100 sts).
Start working in Seed (Moss) Stitch (Round1: K1,P1, Rnd2: P1,K1) or
favorite stitch.
Work 6 Rounds. |

DIVIDE FOR FRONT
Round 39: Knit 40 sts (front). Put
remaining 60 sts on holder (back) TURN; Purl back across the 40 sts
just knit.
BEGIN FRONT SHAPING:
(RSF) Work 39 sts, turn.
(WSF) Work 38 sts, turn.
Continue with these two rows working 1 st less on each row until 2
sts remain (38 rows).
NEXT ROW: (RSF)
P2 sts, With circular or dp needles, Pick up the unworked stitch
from side front and make 1 st by picking up and purling the thread
between the unworked stitches (38 sts) (this sounds more complicated
than it is); Purl across the 60 sts on holder for back; Pick up the
unworked stitch from the other side front and make 1 st by picking
up and purling the thread between the unworked stitches (38 sts)
Total 138 sts.
Place marker; join at left side and work 6 rounds as follows:
Rounds 2,4&6: Knit.
Rounds 3,5&7: Purl.
Bind (Cast) off LOOSELY. I use a crochet hook to Bind (Cast) off. |
