This fab detachable crochet collar is perfect for wearing in all seasons - team it with a nice summery dress or your favourite winter woolly. They also make great presents for that festive time of year! We’re using these special abbreviations to make the instructions clearer: dc2tog – insert the hook into the next stitch, wrap the yarn around the hook and draw a loop through. Repeat this step into the next indicated stitch (this will mean there are now three loops on the hook). Wrap the yarn and draw through ALL the loops to complete the stitch. tr2tog – wrap the yarn around the hook, insert the hook into the next stitch, wrap the yarn, draw a loop, wrap the yarn and draw through two of the loops on the hook (there are now two loops left on the hook). Repeat this step into the next indicated stitch (there are now three loops left on the hook).Wrap the yarn and draw through ALL the loops to complete the stitch.
