This beautiful lace collar adds a touch of elegance to an otherwise plain pumpkin. I was inspired by the macramé collars I have seen all over Pinterest and I knew I wanted to create one with crochet stitches. I was shooting for a sort of spider web look, and I think it turned out perfectly! You could add beads and tassels to the points, or simply leave them plain. They also make a nice Fall doily for underneath a candle!
