Assembly

Arrange your crocheted motifs on a flat surface, mirroring the shape of the necklace in the image. You will want a denser cluster of motifs at the front center, gradually tapering off towards the back. Use the connecting elements below to join them.

Connecting Elements:

• Using Cream or Dusty Rose yarn (whichever contrasts nicely with the motifs being joined), join yarn to a point on one motif.
• Chain 5-10 stitches, then sl st, sc, or dc to an adjacent motif.
• Alternatively, create small lace elements: Ch3, sl st to a nearby motif, ch3, picot, ch3, sl st to another point on a motif.
• Fill gaps with small sc or dc clusters, chains, and picot arches to create a cohesive lace fabric that holds the motifs together and forms the necklace’s overall shape. Look at the image carefully to mimic the organic flow of the lace.
• Ensure the connecting lace forms a sturdy yet delicate structure that allows the necklace to lie flat and gracefully.

Finishing

• Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle.
• Attach a necklace clasp to each end of the necklace using sl sts or by sewing securely.
• (Optional but recommended) Lightly spray the entire necklace with stiffening spray and block it into shape on a flat surface, pinning it down to maintain the desired curve. Allow to dry completely before removing.
