Crochet collar “Rakel”
Crochet a Beautiful Collar
This is a quick and fun pattern for a decorative collar with a lovely texture — perfect for adding a stylish touch to your outfit! The pattern includes two sizes: one for adults and one for children. The entire collar is crocheted in one piece, except for the ties, which are added at the very end. You’ll need Cotton Cloud yarn, a 4 mm crochet hook, scissors, and a tapestry needle to weave in the ends. In this pattern, we’ve used the color “Beige.”
Yarn Consumption: approximately 35 g for the child size and 50 g for the adult size. The amount of yarn may vary depending on your tension.

Info:
This pattern is written in two sizes — one for children and one for adults. In the instructions, the sizes are given with the child size first, followed by the adult size (child/adult).
The neckline measures 30/42 cm (distance between the ties). The ties measure 28/34 cm.
Note: At the end of each row, make the required chain stitches before turning your work. These chains do not count as stitches in the pattern — skip them before continuing on the next row.
Step 1: Chain 44/62 stitches.
If you’re unsure how to crochet a chain, see the instructional video below.
Row 1: Skip the first stitch. Make 1 single crochet (sc) in the second stitch. If you’re unsure how to make a single crochet, see the instructional video below.
Next, chain 4, skip 2 stitches, and make 1 sc in the next stitch — you’ve now created a chain space. Chain 4 again, skip 2 stitches, and make 1 sc — another arch is formed.
Repeat this pattern until you have a total of 14/20 arches (child/adult).
Chain 2 and turn your work.
Row 2: Make 1 half double crochet in the first stitch.
(Note: The 2 chains you made when turning do not count as stitches — always skip them, even if it’s not mentioned in the pattern.)
If you’re unsure how to make a half double crochet, see the instructional video below.
Now make 4 half double crochet around the first chain space. Then make 1 half double crochet in the single crochet between the first and second arches. Continue by making 4 half double crochet around each chain space and 1 half double crochet between each arch.
Turn your work without making a chain.
Step 2 – Row 3:
Make 5 chains, skip 2 stitches, and make 1 single crochet. This forms the first half arch.Make 5 chains, skip 4 stitches, and make 1 single crochet. This forms the first full arc.
Repeat this pattern until you have a total of 13/19 arches.
Make 2 chains, skip 2 stitches, and finish with a double crochet (dc) in the last stitch. This forms the second half arch. After Row 3, you should have 2 half arches and 13/19 full arches.
Make 2 chains and turn your work.
Row 4:
Work 3 half double crochets around the first half arch. Make 1 half double crochets in the single crochet between the arches.
Work 5 half double crochets around the next arch and finish with 1 half double crochets in the single crochet between arches. Continue this pattern around the row: 5 half double crochets on each full arch and 3 half double crochets on each half arch, with 1 half double crochets between each arch.
Make 1 chain and turn your work.
Step 3
Row 5: Make 1 single crochet. Chain 6, skip 5 stitches, and make 1 single crochet. Chain 6, skip 5 stitches, and make 1 single crochet. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Chain 2 and turn your work.
Row 6: Make 1 half double crochet in the first stitch. Work 6 half double crochet around the first chain arch. Make 1 half double crochet in the single crochet between the first and second arch. Continue with 6 half double crochet around each arch and 1 half double crochet between arches.
Turn the work without adding a chain.
Step 4
Row 7: Chain 7, skip 4 stitches, and make 1 sc – this forms the first half-arch. Chain 7, skip 6 stitches, and make 1 sc – this forms the first full arch.
Repeat this pattern so you have 13/19 arches in total.Chain 4, skip 2 stitches, and finish with a dc in the last stitch – this forms the second half-arch. After row 7, you should have 2 half-arches and 3/19 full arches.
Chain 2 and turn.
Row 8: Work 4 hdc around the first half-arch. Make 1 hdc in the single crochet between arches. Work 7 hdc around the next arch and 1 hdc in the single crochet between arches. Continue this pattern across the row: 7 hdc on full arches and 4 hdc on half arches.
Chain 1 and turn.
Note: For the child size, skip Rows 9–10 (Step 5) and continue to the next step.
Step 5
Row 9: Make 1 sc. Chain 8, skip 7 stitches, and make 1 sc. Chain 8, skip 7 stitches, and make 1 sc. Repeat this pattern across the row. Chain 2 and turn.
Row 10: Make 1 hdc in the first stitch. Work 8 hdc around the first chain arch. Make 1 hdc in the single crochet between the first and second arch. Continue with 8 hdc around each arch and 1 hdc between each arch. Chain 1 and turn.
Step 6 – Edging
Work slip stitches along all arches. At the last stitch, make 2 single crochet in the corner, then continue with single crochet along the edge at the collar opening. Make 2 single crochet in the top corner, then continue with 3 single crochet per arch around the chain stitches at the neckline. Repeat with 2 single crochet in the opposite corner, and finish with single crochet along the other edge of the collar opening.
Cut the yarn and weave in the end on the back of the collar.
Step 7 – Ties
Pick up a loop at one of the corners.
Chain 50/60 sts.
Skip the first stitch, then work slip stitches (sl st) along the chain, and finish with a sl st into the edge of the collar. Cut the yarn and weave in the end on the back of the collar. Tie a double knot with the other yarn end and hide the ends.
Repeat to make a tie at the other corner.
Your collar is now finished! Great job ☺
