Crochet Collar Free Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Crochet hook size 3.5 mm (E)
- Fingering or sport weight yarn (about 50 grams)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle (for weaving in ends)
- Button (optional, for closure)
- Measuring tape
Abbreviations:
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- dc – double crochet
- sl st – slip stitch
- st(s) – stitch(es)
Gauge:
Not crucial for this project, but if you want an exact size, you could aim for about 24 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in sc.
Pattern:
Foundation and Row 1:
Create a foundation chain of 60 chains (or a length that wraps comfortably around your neck with some ease).
Turn your work, sc in the second chain from the hook and each chain across. You will have a total of 59 sc.
Row 2 - Increasing and Forming the Collar Shape:
Chain 3 (counts as the first dc here and throughout), turn.
Dc in the same base of the ch 3, then 2 dc in each sc across. This creates a ruffled effect and starts forming the collar shape.
Rows 3-5 - Establishing the Body:
Ch 1, turn.
Sc in each dc across. Ch 3 and turn at the end of each row.
Edging and Finishing Touches:
To create a simple, elegant border, start with a sl st into the first st, ch 3, skip 1 st, sl st in the next. Repeat from * to * around the entire edge of the collar.
Fasten off, weave in ends.
For a closure, sew a button at one end of the collar, and create a loop with chains on the opposite end, or you can leave it open-ended to be secured with a brooch.
Additional Notes:
Feel free to adjust the foundation chain length to accommodate different sizes, but remember, adding stitches will also affect the yarn quantity needed.
Be creative with the edge; experiments with different stitches can produce various effects (e.g., picot edge for a more fancy finish).
This pattern assumes a basic level of crochet knowledge. Don’t hesitate to look up any stitches or techniques you’re unfamiliar with.
