Instructions

This exquisite crochet floral necklace is crafted by creating individual flower and leaf motifs and then assembling them into a beautiful garland. Read through the pattern completely before you begin.

• Small Flower (Make 15-20):

  Ch 4, join with sl st to first ch to form a ring.

  Round 1: *Ch 2, 2 dc into ring, ch 2, sl st into ring.* Repeat from * 4 more times (5 petals total). Sl st to beginning sl st.

  FO, leave a long tail (approx. 6 inches) for sewing.

• Small Leaf (Make 25-30):

  Ch 8.

  Sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next 2 ch, dc in next 2 ch, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in the last ch (this forms the pointed tip).

  Working down the other side of the chain: dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, sc in next st, sl st in the very first sl st made on the other side of the chain.

  FO, leave a long tail (approx. 6 inches) for sewing.

• Assembly of the Necklace:

  Lay out your crocheted flowers and leaves on a flat surface to visualize the arrangement before sewing. Refer to the image for placement. The necklace is designed with a central floral garland and a delicate dangle.

  Step 1: Create the Main Garland:

  • Begin by identifying the central flower of your necklace. This will be the flower from which the main dangle hangs.
  • Working outwards from this central flower, sew leaves and flowers together using your tapestry needle and the long tails you left. Securely stitch through the back loops or discrete parts of the motifs to hide seams.
  • Arrange the motifs in a flowing, natural manner. Typically, a leaf will be attached to the side of a flower, then another flower, then another leaf, and so on. Aim for approximately 5-6 flowers and accompanying leaves on each side of the central flower.
  • Ensure the connections are secure but not bulky.

  Step 2: Attach the Dangle:

  • From the bottom center of your main central flower, sew a leaf, then a flower, then another leaf, then another flower, and finally one last leaf, ending with a final flower. This creates a graceful, cascading effect.

  Step 3: Create the Necklace Cords:

  • Once the floral garland is fully assembled and all tails are woven in (except for the very ends where the cord will attach), attach your crochet thread to the top-most leaf/flower on one end of the garland.
  • Ch 80 (or desired length for the back of your neck). FO.
  • Repeat on the other end of the floral garland, attaching the thread to the top-most leaf/flower and chaining 80 sts. FO.

  Step 4: Optional Stiffening:

  • If desired, gently apply a fabric stiffener to the finished necklace, shaping it as it dries to maintain its delicate form. Follow product instructions for application and drying time.

  Your beautiful Crochet Floral Necklace is now complete! Enjoy wearing your handcrafted masterpiece.
