When I was a teen in the 90s, I always wanted a cool denim jacket with a furry sherpa fleece collar – They were all the rage back then, but my parents said no, and I was broke, so no fleecy denim jacket for me.<\/p>\n

Well the 90s are cool again, so I’m channeling a fun retro denim vibe with this easy DIY Faux Fur collar denim jacket<\/strong> crochet project.<\/p>\n

No need to hit up the vintage stores for a fur collar denim jacket, because this simple re-fashion project lets you makeover a plain denim jacket with a fluffy collar.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a denim jacket in your wardrobe already, hit up your local Op-shop (thrift store) for a budget priced selection.<\/p>\n

This crochet faux fur collar not only looks cool, it’s super cozy too. No need for a neck scarf if there’s a chill in the air, just pop your collar and you are set!<\/p>\n

When you get bored of wearing a furry collar (or the weather gets too warm), just carefully snip off the sewing stitches which attach the crochet, and return your jacket to its original look.<\/p>\n

Keep the collar just in case you choose to re-attach it again next season.<\/p>\n

The yarn<\/h2>\n

\"Premier<\/p>\n

I used Premier Bunny Yarn from American Yarns<\/a> for this project. It’s a super soft faux fur yarn made from polyester with a fringe style construction.<\/p>\n

I’m not really a fan of novelty yarns, but for this small project it was ideal.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen this yarn mainly used for toys, which look amazingly huggable. But I must say, I’d only recommend using this yarn in complex projects like toys if you are very experienced.<\/p>\n

Fluffy yarns (this yarn included) can be tricky to work with, so start with easy projects to get a feel for it, and save yourself frustration. I’ve included some handy tips for working with this yarn below.<\/p>\n

\"Premier<\/p>\n

This is a jumbo size yarn, so you’ll find it works up very quickly with big needles or hooks.<\/p>\n

Its saving grace is that because the fluffy fibers are so good at masking the stitches, it doesn’t show when you make a mistake, so as tricky as it is to get perfect stitch counts, no one will notice.<\/p>\n

I think the results are worth it in the end to create a very soft and fluffy faux fur style fabric.<\/p>\n

The colour range is limited but pretty.<\/p>\n

Premier Bunny yarn isn’t suitable for every project, but if used judiciously, you’ll get really fun results.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty happy with my how my collar turned out with only a small amount of yarn required – about 40g\/16m total.<\/p>\n
