I made A a crocheted collar, using this pattern, although I modified it slightly. I’ve been wanting to make one of these ever since I saw several pictures of them on Pinterest months ago, but I just finally got around to it. It was a quick and very satisfying project, and A loves it (it looks quite fabulous over her pj’s – I can’t wait to see it on an actual dress!) I used Paton’s Grace yarn in Blush from my stash – I’d say it only used a quarter to a third of a skein. I don’t think I could pull off wearing one of these myself, but they’re so pretty, and perfect for a little girl, I think!
J and I started These Happy Golden Years. It’s hard to believe Laura endured that first difficult teaching job when she was only 15! J is very excited that Laura and Almanzo will finally be getting married in this book. Yarning along with Ginny today.
I just called my eldest over to see your collar. The loves all things dressed up and now she wants one of these. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you! I agree – these are perfect for looking and feeling dressed up!
Beautiful! I saw some knitted versions and have wanted to make one for myself and for my daughter…thanks for the reminder!
Oh, I’d love to see your knitted version!
This is so cute, especially in this ultra girly pink!
Thank you! If I want my daughter to wear something, pink is always a sure-fire way to make it happen 🙂 Although she might even wear this one in a different color…
This is such a beautiful collar! It makes me determined to finally get the hang of crochet…
thank you so much! You can totally do it – it’s much easier than it looks!
The collar is lovely. That shade of pink is gorgeous. Nice job.
