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.
