This collar sleeve has a subtle texture created using the spike stitch and single crochet, made with one cake of Lion Brand Mandala yarn. The pattern includes two sizes: a narrower overlay to cover a 0.5-1” wide pet collar and a wider overlay for a 1-1.5” wide pet collar. A great way to spruce up a dingy collar, the durable acrylic overlay works up quickly and can be made using scraps of any 3 weight yarn.

Mallory utilizes a stitch pattern that is a combination of half double, double, and treble crochets between the posts. A row of foundation half double crochet begins the cowl and a row of extended half double crochet ends it, with luxuriously drapey rows of open semi-filet crochet in between. This plush, lightweight cowl hangs around the neck in two loops and works up quickly without being bulky.
