I really enjoyed designing and making this these collars.

 I  wanted to try this style of beading and thought a dog  collar would be a great place

 to learn it. It is actually very simple

 and has really cool look to it.

 

Now that 12 weeks of Christmas collars are done...

don't worry I already have a few ideas 

for some more free crochet patterns.

 

Do you have any ideas for crochet patterns or dog related  items you would like a pattern for?
