This pattern was originally published as Ritual Dyes’ contribution to the 2026 Rose City Yarn Crawl, March 5-8, 2026 in Portland, Oregon. 

Rising from the water (and your WIP pile!), the Helia Collar emerges. She crochets up quickly with the flick of your wrist and rests proudly on your shoulders. This mermaid inspired collar is designed for the advanced beginner and will add a touch of whimsy to any outfit.

10% of all RCYC kit sales are donated to NARA! Founded in 1970 in Portland, Oregon, the Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, Inc. is an American Indian-owned and operated non-profit agency. Originally an outpatient substance abuse treatment center, NARA NW now operates treatment centers, services centers, clinics, and transitional housing for AI/AN participants. All services are centered on the family as it is NARA NW’s philosophy that without the family circle there will be no future.
