If any of you have stumbled across my blog before, you may have noticed a recurring theme: collars. I love 'em. Sweet peter pan collars..long bow-tie collars..vintage lace collars. They can completely change the look of an outfit. So let me not disappoint, here is a little tutorial to make your very own collar.
This is a simple crochet detachable collar I made the other day. It is made with standard DK yarn for a more chunky look than those delicate lace ones found stashed away in vintage shops. And don't worry, it takes a lot less time to make too. You will only need scraps of yarn: it didn't even dent my 100g ball. Mine is made with acrylic (it was on hand..) but I think a cotton yarn would make a good alternative.
Ok, you will need:
- Yarn (see above)
- 4mm crochet hook
- Small popper (for back closure)
Abbreviations: ch - chain, sc - single crochet, dc - double crochet, sl st - slip stitch, tog - together.
Let's begin: ch 72 (72 chs)
Row 1: ch1, sc in every st (72 sts)
Row 2: ch2, *dc in st, 2dc in st* repeat to end (108 sts)
Row 3: ch2, dc in every st (108 sts)
Row 4: ch2, *dc in 3 sts, 2dc in next st* repeat to end (135 sts)
Row 5: sl st 1 st, *5sc in st, sl st 3 sts tog* repeat until 2 sts remaining, sl st 2sts. Pull yarn through loop to finish off.
To complete your detachable collar, sew a popper at the back and enjoy wearing it!
This is not only my first time guest blogging, but also writing out a pattern like this, so please bear with me. Hopefully it will all make sense, if there are any problems please leave a comment below or send me an email (iroirocrafts@yahoo.com).
If you have never tried crochet before, I recommend taking a look at these easy instructions or popping onto youtube. It's a really fun hobby to have that you can pick up anywhere - I often crochet on the bus to college! Thanks for reading ^.^

I'm working on this right now and it turned out huge so I just restarted with a 3.75 mm crochet hook but it's still pretty big...
I knit but not crochet. but I really wanna try out this collar. Thank you so much and i'll let you see when i'm finish it.
