Greetings from Australia! I’ve been hunting for a polo insert for ages. Thank you so much for the pattern. The weather here is often not cold enough for a jumper under a crew neck but you need something to keep your neck warm. Perfect.

The Dickey is looking good except I’m not sure what this part means:

Shape left shoulder following the directions for one back shoulder.

Can you help to clarify? Many Thanks!!

Thanks for all you information.
I am looking for advice on how to convert a knitting pattern to suit a yarn which is thicker than stated.
I now want to experiment a bit, and i am having difficulty getting the right garment size. I have knit tension squares but with no luck, I’m doing something wrong but what???!!
Thanks
Margaret

Thank you for the idea of a side opening buttoned dickey. I’d been thinking front opening. I’d like turtleneck for scarf-warmth-without-wearing-a-scarf, button style to save the hairdo, and long enough and with armholes to keep the dickey from riding up. I remind myself of the verse from childhood, “Nobody, my dear, could call me a fussy man – I only want a little bit of butter for my bread.”

I am excited to find a customized Dickey pattern!
Someone asked in “do people really wear these?” My husband is a policeofficer has plenty of bulk on his torso with a bullet proof vest, but wanted something warm on his neck… and we cannot find anything in Cali, not even a turtleneck… go figure! I’ll be getting busy on this!
