Learning to Crochet

Have been practicing my crochet this week...
Collars are a nice easy project for the beginner....
They only took me a few hours to complete.....
And they are very economical..
I purchased this ball of 100% cotton from The Factory Shop for £1.50 ....
And there is enough yarn to easily make two collars if not three...just right for practicing....
I downloaded and printed out this pattern off the Internet...
Here is the address if you want to have a go....
Made a gray one in some odd wool I had lying around....I love the red button....
My daughter now wants me to make her a few and some for my grandaughters x x x. And I think I will be wearing a few!
Had a purple chintz moment to accompany my crochet exploits and brighten up a cold wintry day x.
