How to Make Them?
Foundation Kickstart

Start with the first chain and set up the first section of the collar. Work carefully, keeping the base level so the lace can open up nicely.

Work the Main Section

Make the collar from the pattern, working the decorative lace design as you go. The more repeats, the more detailed the fabric is and the softer and more elegant the collar will be.

Change the Size

Cut the ends so that the collar fits well when worn. If your style has a closure, allow enough room for it to fasten comfortably.

Fill in the Edges

Finish off the last edging. Fasten off and weave in all ends neatly. A light blocking will open up the lace to show off the design.

Helpful Hints
Relax your tension so that the lace does not look tight.
If you lose track of repeats, use stitch markers.
Before you finish, check the fit through the neckline.
