Embroidery. Attach 12 strands of Black Six Strand at neck edge of center front. Working over these strands with 6 strands of Red, work a row of cross stitches closely together down center front edge, along lower edge of long section and up to neck edge (thus dividing off long section from short section). Skip 1⅛ inches at neck edge, and divide off next long section with cross stitches. Continue in this manner across. Then work a row of cross stitches at lower edge between long sections (see illustration).

Pull thread through last loop, and break off, leaving a 6-inch length for sewing button to collar. With Black Six Strand, work 1 cross stitch on top of button; then work a Red cross stitch over this one. Make another button same as this.
Sew one button to each side of collar, as in illustration, and fasten with chain loops.
