Crocheted collarHowever, as no two people crochet exactly alike, some little difficulty may be encountered in using the braid, and it is only by experimenting that one is able to determine the right tension to make the medallions fit. Of course, the first thing necessary is to see that the braid is exactly the right size. In this instance the detail of the collar, is actual size, so it will be very easy to match the braid with the illustration.
