This versatile collar can be worn with a t-shirt, crew neck sweater or even a simple dress to add a touch of vintage style to your outfit. The collar also makes a pretty alternative to a necklace and you can make it in any colour, for any occasion. The collar is made from a very simple construction using a semi-join-as-you-go method. You can finish with chains on each end to tie the collar or use a button for a simple fastening. I suggest using a cotton or cotton blend yarn.

Intermediate - the pattern uses basic stitches but the semi-join-as-you-go method might require some practice. There are detailed photos showing some of the steps for the instructions.
