This collar transforms an outfit with detail and delicacy. It is for that special person on that special occasion. It would be a personal and characteristic addition to a wedding dress, a Lucia procession, a confirmation, or any celebration that needs that extra spice.

How do you read this pattern?
The pattern has 4 pages. Page one (this one) contains all the necessary data and notes you need.

Diagram 1, on page 2, shows the complete diagram of the lace collar. Crochet from side to side as shown in the drawing on this page.

Diagrams 2 and 3 provide detailed views of the right and left sides of the diagram. You can find these diagrams on pages 3 and 4.

To improve readability, the diagram is presented in two colors, with each row having a distinct color.

This crochet diagram uses US terminology. The abbreviations are indicated within brackets. The pink brackets represent the UK abbreviation.

In the diagram, can you see a pink marking on some of the chains/stitches. This indicates that the stitch you are working on should go into the stitch with the marking.
