Star Collar

Star Collar is a quick and fun project that results in a versatile accessory that is suitable for both special occasions and everyday use. Star Collar is the perfect accessory to add a classic touch to any outfit. The collar fits comfortably around the neck and can be worn over a simple dress, blouse or sweater to add a sweet and elegant look. The collar is worked with 1 strand of either Pure Silk, Cotton Merino or Merino. Star Collar is worked back and forth in a simple but decorative eyelet pattern that gives the collar a nice drape and is also easy to knit. The collar is finished by shaping the neckband and crocheting a buttonhole loop and attaching 1 button – making the collar easy to put on and off.
