This was a difficult stitch to do for so long, but I am thrilled to bits with how it came out.

I have had to slightly adapt the instructions that I had for the oyster stitch for working in the round, but the instructions should be plenty clear for those who have never tried it before, or have only tried it working flat.

Size can be adapted to be smaller for smaller necks or a tighter fit, or to be taller or shorter.
