Assembly of Necklace

Step 1: Arrange Your Motifs

• Lay out all your crocheted flowers and leaves on a flat surface. Arrange them in a shape that resembles the necklace in the image, forming a central cluster that tapers off towards the ends.
• Place more Flower A (white with teal center) in the prominent central areas, mixing them with leaves. Use Flower B (all white) and more leaves to extend the branches and fill out the design.
• Take a photo of your desired arrangement to use as a guide.

Step 2: Sew Motifs Together

• Using the long tails left on your motifs and a tapestry needle, carefully sew the motifs together. Stitch through the back of adjacent stitches, petals, or leaves to secure them discreetly.
• Start with the central cluster, then gradually add surrounding flowers and leaves, creating small, natural-looking branches.
• Ensure each connection is secure but doesn’t create bulk. Weave in any remaining loose ends as you go.

Step 3: Create the Neck Chain

• Once the main floral garland is complete, attach Light Teal yarn to each end of the floral design.
• Ch 50-70 (or desired length, measuring around your neck to ensure a comfortable fit). Repeat on the other side.
• Alternatively, you can crochet a shorter chain (e.g., 20-30 chs) on each side and then attach a length of jewelry chain with jump rings for an adjustable fit.

Step 4: Attach Clasp

• Using jewelry pliers, attach one part of your chosen necklace clasp to one end of the crocheted chain.
• Attach the other part of the clasp to the opposite end. If using a lobster clasp, you can crochet a small loop (e.g., ch 5, sl st into first ch) at one end for the clasp to hook onto, or attach a jump ring.

Step 5: Optional Stiffening

• If desired, gently apply a fabric stiffener according to product instructions. Pin the necklace to a blocking mat in your desired shape and allow it to dry completely. This will help maintain the delicate shape of the flowers and leaves.
