Crochet collar

Some time back I have purchased Anchor crochet cotton thread of size 20 and 40.  But I didn't have a hook to use with that size of thread.  Last week I have purchase crochet steel hook of size 1.50mm and 1.75mm from pony craft stores.  First have a look at the threads and hooks.


I have planned a small project with that thread and yarn.  After searching for patterns I have come up with a crochet collar.  The pattern is from here.  I find it a bit difficult with the steel hook to crochet.   Now have a look at the collar.


 
I am planning to attach this collar in a frock which I am going to make with the dotted fabric in the background.  I will come up with the frock in my next post. So do watch my space.

Happy Crocheting.

  2. Nice collar!! I have recently made one with cream and pink but with anchor knitting cotton. Size 20 is fine to work with, I make doilies with it. But size 40 is very thin, I have made few mini doilies with it but I don't have patience for this thread...did you like size 40?

  3. Such a nice design for a collar. It will look charming on the dress.
    Don't you find it hard to work for a long time with a thin hook? When I used to crochet, a long time ago, I often got muscle pain in the palm of my hand until I found a hook with a wooden handle.
