Original Pattern by crochet designer: Mary Sue Ottinger
The first step for the collar says to attach it to the back of the neck. What neck? I’ve done the hat and beard but nothing with a neck.
That’s a very good question, Wendy, and unfortunately I can’t answer because I’m not the designer of this older pattern.
I will try to find out, and post the answer for you if I find one. Meanwhile, if anyone else has ideas on this, please chime in!
I did the coat first. Then did the collar. You can attach it right at the top in the middle ( where row joins ).
Sheila, thank you so much! That sounds simple enough. I really appreciate you taking time to share.
