Instructions

This pattern creates a delicate necklace. Adjust the length of the main vine as needed for your desired fit.

Main Vine (Olive Green)

• Start: Ch 150 (or desired length for your necklace, ensuring it fits comfortably around your neck with some drape).
• Row 1: Sl St in 2nd Ch from hook and in each Ch across. (This creates a thin, sturdy base. Alternatively, you can work Sc across for a slightly thicker vine).
• Fasten off, leaving a long tail for weaving in or attaching a clasp.

Small Leaves (Olive Green – Make approx. 15-20)

• Leaf 1: Ch 4. Sl St in 2nd Ch from hook, Sc in next Ch, Hdc in last Ch.
• Leaf 2 (3-leaf cluster): Ch 4, Sl St in 2nd Ch from hook, Sc in next Ch, Hdc in last Ch. Ch 3, Sl St in 2nd Ch from hook, Sc in last Ch. Ch 4, Sl St in 2nd Ch from hook, Sc in next Ch, Hdc in last Ch. Sl St into the base of the first leaf to form a cluster.
• Fasten off, leaving a short tail for attachment. Make a variety of single and clustered leaves.

Small Roses (Light Pink & Cream – Make approx. 6-8 of each color)

• Foundation: Ch 20.
• Row 1: (Sc, Ch 1, Sc) in 2nd Ch from hook. *Skip 1 Ch, (Sc, Ch 1, Sc) in next Ch*. Repeat from * to * across.
• Shaping: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Starting from one end, gently roll the strip into a rose shape. Use the long tail and your tapestry needle to stitch through the layers at the base of the rose to secure its shape.

Tiny Birds (Sky Blue – Make 2-3)

• Body:
• Rnd 1: MR, 6 Sc. (6 sts)
• Rnd 2: Inc in each Sc around. (12 sts)
• Rnd 3: Sc in each Sc around. (12 sts)
• Rnd 4: [Sc, Dec] x 4. (8 sts)
• Sl St to next Sc. Fasten off, leaving a tail. Gently stuff with a tiny bit of yarn scrap if desired, but keep it flat for the necklace.
• Tail: (Optional, can be embroidered later) With a new strand of blue yarn, Ch 3, Dc in 2nd Ch from hook, Sl St in next Ch. Sl St to the back of the bird.
• Wing: With a new strand of blue yarn, Ch 3, Sc in 2nd Ch from hook, Sl St in next Ch. Attach to the side of the bird.
• Details: Use a very thin strand of black thread to embroider tiny eyes and a small ‘V’ shape for the beak.

Assembly

• Lay out your crocheted vine. Arrange the roses, leaves, and birds along the vine, envisioning the final look.
• Using your tapestry needle and the yarn tails, carefully sew each rose, leaf, and bird securely onto the main olive green vine. Alternate colors and positions for a natural, flowing appearance.
• Space the elements organically, clustering some and leaving gaps for others, similar to the image.
• Once all crochet elements are attached, thread your tapestry needle with a fine strand of matching thread.
• Sew the small pink and white seed beads/pearls onto the vine, scattering them among the flowers and leaves to add sparkle.
• Weave in all remaining loose ends securely.
• Optionally, attach a jewelry clasp and jump rings to each end of the vine, or create small Ch loops at each end to tie the necklace.

Your beautiful crochet rose and bird necklace is now complete! Enjoy wearing your handmade masterpiece.
