Step 1: Gauge Swatch

It is essential to start with a gauge swatch to ensure the desired size and fit of your detachable lace crochet collar. Using the Size G crochet hook, create a foundation chain of 20 stitches. Then, work in single crochet stitches for about 4 inches. Measure the gauge with a measuring tape, and adjust the hook size if needed.

Remember, the gauge might vary based on the yarn you choose, so it's best to experiment and find the perfect fit.

Step 2: Foundation Chain

Using the Size H crochet hook and your chosen color thread, create a foundation chain of 70 stitches. This will depend on the desired width of your collar. Experiment with different lengths for varied widths.

Step 3: Basic Collar Stitch

Row 1: Turn your work and make one double crochet stitch in the third chain from the hook. Continue making double crochet stitches till the end of the row.

Step 4: Lace Crochet Pattern

Now comes the exciting part - adding the intricate lace crochet pattern to your collar, giving it a delicate and fancy touch.

Row 2: Chain 3 (this will count as your first double crochet), then make one double crochet stitch into the next stitch of the previous row. Chain 2, skip the next stitch, and make one double crochet stitch in the following stitch. Repeat this pattern till the end of the row. Chain 3 and turn.

Row 3: Make one double crochet stitch into the space created by the chain 2 in the previous row. Chain 2, skip the next stitch, and make one double crochet stitch into the space created by the chain 2 of the previous row. Repeat till the end of the row.

Continue repeating rows 2 and 3 until you achieve your desired length and lace pattern. You can experiment with different stitch combinations to create unique patterns for your collar.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Once you have completed the desired length, finish off your work by cutting the thread with a few inches to spare. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring a clean finish.

If you want to add a closure to your collar, sew buttons or attach snaps on both ends. This will allow you to attach or detach the collar easily from your tops or dresses.

A detachable lace crochet collar is a versatile accessory that can instantly elevate your outfit and add a touch of vintage elegance. By following this step-by-step guide, you can create your own unique collar that complements your personal style.
