I apologize to the sender of the request for a fur collar ,,, a little secret i made my daughter [some] coats and bough a piece of Many made cloth that looks like sheep [well looks like ???] looks hairy, i had to sew it by machine wearing gloves,,,, but knitted fur , years ago we used to knit this loopy hats with big loops ,,,, Now adays there are many threads that once knitted look like fur , you could also create the look by doing it this way ,,, take a card board and make a long slit in the middle of a rectangle ,, Now wrap a hairy looking thread thickly over it , so that slit will be in the middle cross wise to threadd, now sew in the slit over the threads . move the cardboard a bit till the whole middle is sewn , sew at least 3 times a zigzag that has 4 steps ,,,,,, take of , fold on seam , sew onto sweater , you can cut or not cut the middle of the loops ,, mirjam
