Flower Girl Collar
I made the dark grey one first by starting with a 56 ch and adding an extra row between R3 and R4. Unfortunately It was a little bit big for my daughter so I made the light grey one which fits her much better. I would recommend this one for a 2 -3 year old. If you wish to adjust the size simply start with fewer or more chains.

R1: 10 SC in the ring. Join to first SC with a sl st. (change colours here if you wish)

LEAVES
Hook: 2mm or 1.5mm for smaller leaves.

I almost always use this pattern I found from Easy Makes Me Happy for my leaves. It’s the best one I’ve found so far, it’s quick, simple and gives a nice shape.

Cast off.
TIES
I simply attached some embroidery cotton to the corner of the collar and chained 70 with a 2mm hook. You could attach pom-poms or tassels or just use ribbon instead – the possibilities are endless!
