A dainty, feminine piece that highlights the drape and sparkle of its yarn, this lovely collar takes the stress out of lace knitting. The most basic beginner mistake, dropping a stitch, is purposefully done to give the piece a lace-like fabric. Working the edging on tighter needles allows the collar to hug the neck while the ruffles tumble gracefully.

Uses 1 skein of Beaded Pearl & Sequins in color 271 Silver, and 1 skein of Silk Pearl in color 1020.
