R: 1 Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, *skip the next ch, 4 dc in the next ch,

 1 sc in the last ch, ch1

1st Tie - Ch 25, 1 dc in the 2nd ch from the end, sl st back down the ch to the collar,

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!

Candy Cane Collar - Free Crochet Pattern # 9

Candy Cane collar -12 collars of Christmas - Free Crochet pattern # 9

This dog collar is intended for decorative purposes only, 

not for attaching your lead or leash to . 

It lays and  fits nicely right over the regular collar.

When I decided to design a Candy cane collar I wanted it to have

 stripes but not exact stripes. Sort of hints of stripes, I guess. 

My creative juices started flowing and I ended up making  

about 20 different designs. I could not decide which one to use.

 So I put each one on Maximo

 to see which one looked best. And this one was the winner.

This is a very simple yet classy looking collar.
It has the red and white elements with out being to strippie (if that is a word??).
