In this pattern I will show you how to make a collar (jabot, tabs) in Irish Crochet Lace technique. It is an old technique to make a clothes dividing by procedure. First make several motifs, and then according to the drawing (or working on the tailor’s mannequin with exact size of client) assemble and fill out the spaces with a mesh (filling).

Weight of the collar – 16 g.
