I also adjusted the number of chains for my collar -- I used 48 to start with, and played around with the pattern. That's why it looks different!

NOTES
-
Gauge is not critical for this project. Work tightly so stuffing will not show between stitches.
-
To change color, work last stitch of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.
