1- We start by making a simple chain of 35 points, once finished we make 34 single crochet, leaving two chains that represent the first single crochet stitch. The neck of the cat measures 21 centimeters, so I used a meter to get an idea of ​​how many centimeters the cat should have since when you make the second round you will increase the length and width.

2- In the last point of the row of single crochet, we will make an increase, in total we will have three points in the last point and begin to make the other side single crochet, introducing the needle in the knitted points on the other side of the row.

3- To finish the round we return to make an increase in the last point and finish with a slip stitch.

4- The second round will be 34 single crochet when we reach the increase we will have an increase in the first single crochet and a second increase in the second single crochet, and we continue making single crochet stitch until completing the row.

5- When we have reached the end of the round in the same way we will be two increases and ends with a slip stitch. We already have the necklace, now we will make the red bow and how to close it.

6 - To close the necklace we will make a simple chain to the air of 7 or 8 points and we will close it to the other end with a slip stitch.

7- We will place a button in the other corner sewn with needle and thread, and so we will have ready the closing of the necklace.

8- For the red bow, we will make a simple chain of 15 points, we make 14 single crochet, leaving two chains that represent the first single crochet, and we will make 5 rows, making a rectangle, we cut thread and hide the excess inside the rectangle. We will make a second rectangle of a simple chain with 8 points, we make 7 single crochet in the same way the first single crochet will be two chains of the 8. We will make a second row of single crochet, we cut thread and hide it.

9- Now we are going to join the two rectangles, we fold the largest rectangle along and we go through the small one and we knit the small one with slip stitch to form the red bow. Finally we sew with thread and needle the red bow. We already have a beautiful necklace for our cat.
