[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Cat Collar

[rhcwilliams]

Hi Cathy, Miss Ruth from New Jersey here. I was the one on the call who was looking for the 2-peg i-cord instructions, thank you kindly! My cat, Squeaky, hates all the collars we've tried so far, but he needs a bell so I know where he is. I thought it might be the materials they're made of. Most are hard and stiff. He chews and pulls at the collars, choking himself, which is scary, and eventually gets the collar off.I'd like to try a yarn collar to see if he finds it comfortable. I'll use velcro to close it so it's a break-away collar.Anyone with suggestions, or who has made yarn cat collars, please fire away!Thanks youse guys (as we say in Jersey)!Take care,Miss RuthSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Here it is.  I think credit belongs toCourtney. Two Peg I-CordBy Courtney F. Smith <mailto:outtasightcrafting at gmail.com> outtasightcrafting at gmail.com Begin by placing  a slip knot on peg one.  Take the working yarn behind peg two.  Now take the yarn to the right of pegtwo.  To    the front of peg two. And to the left of peg two.   Next, take the working yarn behind peg one. To the left of peg one. To thefront of peg one. Now to the right of peg one. You should have two loops onpeg one & one loop on peg two.  Wrap peg two again. You should now have two loops on peg two. You arewrapping in a figure-eight pattern. Knit off the bottom loop on peg two & then peg one. Continue wrapping the pegs & knitting off as described above until yourI-cord reaches the desired length.   NOTE:  Gently pull  on the I-cord every few inches  to set the stitches inplace.  When your I-cord has reached the desired length, you are ready to bind off.To do this,  make sure there is only one loop on peg one & peg two. Movethe loop on peg two over to  peg one. Knit off.Cut working  yarn leaving a 6 inch tail. Lay the yarn tail above the loop on peg one. Pull the yarn down through theloop on the peg. Remove the loop & pull the yarn tail to tighten up the bindoff.  Weave in ends. Happy crafting!
