We told you new patterns were coming. Here they are.
Four brand new macrame pet collar patterns have just been added to the Auntie Kays Pets collection — and whether you are a complete beginner or a confident crafter looking for your next challenge, there is something in this lineup for you.
As always, every pattern includes the full Auntie Kays Pets package: cord length cheat sheet, complete materials list, numbered step-by-step photo instructions, finishing techniques, and a bonus tips page. All patterns are designed for 3mm macrame cord and include sizes from XS through L.
The 1 Colour Daisy — Classic and Satisfying If you loved the idea of the Daisy pattern but want to keep things simple, this is your starting point. The 1 Colour Daisy creates that beautiful daisy chain texture using a single cord — clean, elegant, and completely achievable for beginners. The 16-step instructions walk you through every stage with clear photos so you always know exactly where you are. The finished collar is delicate, distinctive, and nothing like anything you will find in a pet shop.

The Alternating Square Knot — Open Weave Elegance The Alternating Square Knot is one of the most satisfying macrame patterns to work — the rhythm builds quickly and the result is a beautifully open, woven texture that looks impressive without being complicated. This is a beginner friendly pattern that produces a collar with real presence. Nine steps repeated until you reach your desired length — straightforward, clean, and endlessly adaptable to any colour cord you choose.

The Clove Hitch — Tight, Textured, Professional If you want a collar that looks like it came from a boutique pet accessories shop, the Clove Hitch is the one. The diagonal double clove hitch knot creates a tight, densely textured surface with a subtle chevron-like effect that is genuinely striking. This is still a beginner friendly pattern — the 13-step sequence is clear and well photographed — but the finished result looks like the work of an experienced crafter. Kevin gave this one an especially thorough review. It passed.
The Duo Square Knot — Two Colours, One Showstopper Ready to work with two colours? The Duo Square Knot is our newest two colour pattern and it delivers. Using two contrasting cords worked together in a square knot sequence, this 19-step pattern creates a richly woven collar with beautiful colour contrast. Choose complementary colours for something subtle, or go bold with high contrast for maximum impact. No two collars look exactly the same — which is exactly the point.

What You Need to Get Started
Every pattern uses the same basic materials list so you can stock up once and make them all:
3mm macrame cord (single strand recommended — twisted also works) Metal or plastic buckle — 1/2" or 20mm size Split ring for tag attachment Masking tape or clipboard to anchor your work Bobby pin (non-negotiable — trust us) Measuring tape and scissors
Each pattern includes a cord length formula and sizing chart so you cut the right amount for your pet's neck size — from XS right up to L.
Can I Buy a Kit Instead? Yes. Auntie Kays Pets sells collar-making kits with all the materials you need included. The kit does not include scissors or masking tape but everything else is in there. Perfect if you want to dive straight in without a sourcing trip.
