I love the yarn I used (first project with it) The repeat pattern goes quickly by the time you start your second motif.

I would have preferred to join motifs as I worked, but it’s a lot harder than you think. I would suggest joining the bottom row (In the diagram) as you go, if you can figure that out by looking at the diagram. Then I would lay it out on the table with pins. This is definitely the most time consuming part.

Each full motif~100’ of yarn. I used just under 2 skeins for all the motifs & the rest was edging. The first time I did the edging it made a big ruffle, too big & didn’t notice until the 3rd round. I pulled it & I found it was best to lay it out on the table to crochet around. It is tricky to keep the same amount of stitches & curve on both sides. I would say that part is not for a first timer. I did 1 round of sc’s, then 2 rows of Hdcs.

There is also no indication in the pattern how to address the buttons. It does not lay perfectly to attach buttons without having a big lump in the front. I went with a hook & eye & found buttons in Joanns Fabric Store similar to the pattern.

Width of neck: 20”
Top to bottom 9”
