Crochet Pattern
Add This Crochet Pattern to your Ravelry Favorites
Skill: Easy

Materials :
Hook - H / 5.00 MM
Yarn- Bulky (5 or 6) Bernat Denim- Lava Wash 
              (This is a chunky Yarn, you can also use strand
                 each of a Red and White Worsted weight yarn.)
Peppermint Button or PLASTIC decorations- 
                     I found these in the mini. Christmas Tree Section
                     at Hobby Lobby. Do Not Use real Peppermints!!!


Stitches:
Chain (ch)
Single Crochet (sc)
Double Crochet (dc)
Slip Stitch ( sl st)

First measure your dog, cat, bunny or pets neck.


Ch 27 for a 10 inch neck - 
(to make larger or smaller add chs in increments of 4.)


R: 1 Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, *skip the next ch, 4 dc in the next ch, 
skip the next ch, 1 sc in the next ch, Repeat from * 5 more times for 6 shells,
 1 sc in the last ch, ch1


R: 2 - Working down the opposite side of the ch, 1 sc in the 1st sc,
 *skip the next ch, 4 dc in the next ch (should be in the center of the last shell) 
skip the next ch, sc in the next ch, repeat 5 more times for 6 shells, sc in the last ch.
 do not tie off.


1st Tie - Ch 25, 1 dc in the 2nd ch from the end, sl st back down the ch to the collar, 
join with a sl st and tie off.


2nd Tie - join yarn to the opposite end of the collar with a sl st, Ch 25, 
1 dc in the 2nd ch from the end, sl st back down the ch to the collar,
 join with a sl st and tie off.

I cut off the loops from the plastic peppermints. 
Then I Hot Glued one in each shell center. 
The package comes with 9 peppermints, 
so if you need to make the collar larger you have a few extra.

Keep the collar on securely so dogs are not tempted
 to bite or chew on the peppermint pieces.

Happy Stitching!

Wow!! Thank you for this article! It's so good if we want to creat some homemade dog collars. First, I need to buy materials and after to learn from this how to do! I hope I'll find Peppermint PLASTIC decorations, if not I'll replace it with something else, maybe with tree decorations! For sure I'll find something interesting! Thank you once again and I'll come back!
