Flower hound collar


This is a traditional type hound collar, worked in double crochet, and embellished with crochet flowers.
Both the collar and the flowers are worked in 0.5mm leather - making the collar very soft and flexible.
Eyelet have been inserted into this collar - due to the nature of double crochet, it was easy to do, and also the buckle is of a substantial weight.  

Decorative hound collar


This is hairpin crochet which has been finished by double crocheting along the edge in a contrasting collar - then finished with a crab stitch edging to give a firmer edge.  This collar has no fastenings, and is designed to slip over the dogs head - being made from leather and having an open design, it does stretch - and is better slightly stretched for a snug fit.

This collar, again, is worked in 1mm leather cord.

These collars are purely decorative and  are best worn by a whippet or greyhound, with sort fir and an long neck, to show off the intricate workings of the hairpin design.

Hairpin Crochet dog collar


This is a decorative thin collar.  Made using 1mm leather cord and using 'hairpin' crochet 
to create a very intricate design.
No eyelets, the buckle prong is inserted into the centre of the crochet, making it fully adjustable.
