Making Process:

1. Starting the Dickey:
   • Begin by chaining 41 stitches; this chain should measure around 28 cm (11 in).
   • Row 1: Chain 1, slip stitch in the second loop from the hook, slip stitch in the next 23 chains. Yarn over slip stitch in the next 7 chains, half double crochet in the next 10 chains. Turn your work (41 stitches total).
2. Continuing the Pattern:
   • Row 2: Chain 2, half double crochet back loop only in the next 10 stitches, yarn over slip stitch back loop only in the next 7 stitches, slip stitch back loop only in the next 24 stitches. Turn your work (41 stitches).
   • Row 3: Chain 1, slip stitch back loop only in the next 24 stitches, yarn over slip stitch back loop only in the next 7 stitches, half double crochet back loop only in the next 10 stitches. Turn your work (41 stitches).
   • Repeat Rows 2-3 until the dickey reaches your desired width or fits snugly around your neck.
3. Finishing Up:
   • Fold the dickey with wrong sides facing each other.
   • Start seaming by chaining 1. To seam, insert your crochet hook through the back loop of one side and the loop of the first foundation chain on the other side. Yarn over and draw the yarn through all loops on the hook, forming a single crochet stitch.
   • Continue this seaming method across the edges of the dickey until you reach the end, ensuring a secure and neat finish.
   • Secure and weave in any loose ends.

With these steps, you'll create a functional and fashionable crochet ribbed turtleneck dickey perfect for chilly days!
