The two worked together when they were both at Brighton & Hove Albion during the 2010s.
Pattenden said: "It's an exciting opportunity for me.
“It's a club I'm very familiar with in terms of the staff and management - I know Marc and I've got that familiarity with Mark Beard from my time at Brighton, so I understand what the club wants to do.
Good luck to @JasperPattenden for his loan deal at Dorking!#Chairboys https://t.co/sPGklk8feD

“When the opportunity came up to join on loan until January, I felt it was one that would be good for me - playing regular minutes at a club that plays fantastic football.
"I'm really looking forward to getting started and helping the boys in any way I can."
He’s decent. Good for him to get minutes at a good club. I’d actually have liked to have seen him more in league one. Defo good enough for league 2. Look after him for us

Manager Marc White added: "Jasper is someone that we've known for several years as part of Worthing's really successful team and a well-regarded player.
“He's an exciting winger that can play on both sides, an amazing character, and will fit into the club really well.
“We're really excited to have him on board."
Pattenden's favoured position is to be in central midfield, but he has been deployed as a right-back so far for Wycombe.
