Crochet Pattern: Vintage Collar

I see some of you are interested in the Vintage Collar I have crocheted and the photo has been repinned around on Pinterest. Wow! So in return I have posted up the original pattern for those who are inspired to make one. Feel free to crochet if you are a crocheter! Let me hear your comments on this collar if you finish it successfully :) Here is the pattern...

Crochet a Vintage Collar 

This is the original written pattern which I found and crocheted. Tried and tested, you can add on more scrolls to make it longer depending on the yarn size you are using. You can add or reduce accordingly because the pattern is worked scroll per scroll, so this is easy. I used #20 cotton yarn with a Hook size of 1.6mm. I made 13 scrolls on the neck edge and 12 scrolls for outside edge. Skipped the silver buttons altogether.
