Crochet Collars

Hello. I hope you are having a lovely week. It’s Lulu’s birthday this week so I’m trying to get organised (when I say ‘trying’ I mean writing lots of lists and not really getting much done.) But I thought I’d pop in and share some images of the crochet collars I designed recently for Knitcrate...

Knitcrate is a knitting and crochet subscription box service for fibre artists (I love that term) around the world. Each box contains premium yarn from a different company each month, patterns and some sweet extras. You can subscribe for monthly or bi-monthly kits and there are lots of different packages to choose from for all levels of knitters/crocheters.

I had a lovely email from Andrea (who founded Knitcrate with her husband) saying they were branching out into crochet and would I be interested in working with them to design some crochet collars. Although I was apprehensive about designing for someone else (it’s scary new) I had wanted to make some more collars and when I heard I would be working with Knit Collage's Marhani Silk I was sold.

Andrea was so lovely to work with and was always happy to answer any concerns I had. I think the biggest challenge was writing the patterns in US terms (and so they could be understood - I still have my fingers crossed on that one!) but I had some useful feedback from her tester and that helped a lot.

So here are the three collars – cue lots of photos of me trying to avoid eye contact with the camera…

If you like these crochet collars you may enjoy some of my free collar patterns here on the blog: 1. Peter Pan Crochet Collar Pattern / 2. Halloween Web Collar Pattern

Because of the agreement with Knitcrate I can't post the patterns here for free but I may add them to my Ravelry account for a small fee if people are interested.

If you'd like to find out more about a knitting/crochet subscription service I really recommend checking out Knitcrate.

Have a great week.

Bye for now. Em xx

P.s just a quick reminder that my giveaway of Pearl Lowe's Vintage Craft is still open if you'd like the chance to win a copy. xx
