Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn in soft muted vintage colors such as dusty rose, sage green, and antique cream.
• Hook: Size 4.0 mm crochet hook.
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in single crochet.
• Scissors: For cutting yarn.
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.
• Button: A small vintage-style button for closure.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Magic Ring Base:
   • Start by creating a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring.
   • Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring and close it.
2. Increase:
   • Round 2: Work 2 single crochets in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
   • Round 3: *(1 single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch)* repeat around (18 stitches total).
3. Work Even:
   • Rounds 4-10: Work 1 single crochet in each stitch around. This will create the body of the collar.
4. Create Collar Shape:
   • Row 11: Chain 1, turn your work, and single crochet in the next 12 stitches. Leave the remaining stitches unworked. This will form the collar shape.
5. Add Fringe:
   • Cut 6-inch strands of yarn in each of your chosen colors (dusty rose, sage green, and antique cream).
   • To attach the fringe, take a strand of yarn, fold it in half, and use a lark's head knot to attach it to every other stitch along the edge of the collar. Pull the ends of the yarn through the loop to secure.
6. Finishing:
   • Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish.
   • Attach a small vintage-style button at the back of the collar for closure. You can sew it on securely with a needle and thread.

And there you have it! Your very own Enchanted Fairycore Pet Collar with Fringe. This charming accessory will surely make your pet the star of any woodland adventure!
