This is probably the easiest crochet project that I've ever worked on.
It literally only takes 10 minutes to work up, and voila, you are finished!
I created this pattern myself and I am loving it so far.
The first prototype I made is the teal necklace shown in some of the pictures.
I really like it, but I thought it needed a little length and more space between the strands.
The pattern that I have for you today is my second prototype, which turned out much better.
What I love about this necklace is how versatile it is.
You can wear it simply as it is.
You could add some sort of flower embellishment to it.
And you could even play around with the size by adding or subtracting chains to make it a longer necklace, or even a bracelet!
Supplies:
Less than a roll of worsted weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Cotton – Ease in Maize and/or Seabreeze)
Size G/6-4.25MM crochet hook
Scissors
Fasten on.
Ch 100.
Sl st into very first ch.
1 sc in next st.
Ch 110. Sl st into sc from beginning of the round.
1 sc in next st.
Ch 120. Sl st into sc from beginning of the round. 1 sc in next st.
Ch 130. Sl st into sc from beginning of the round. 1 sc in next st.
You should now have 4 connected, chain loops that look like this:
Create a braided strip approximately 5 inches long to wrap around the necklace.
Wrap around the area where all 4 loops connect. Wrap approximately 4 times. Tie in the back, tuck in the ends and hot glue in place.
Necklace can be worn as-is, or use a cute flower pin as an accessory!
I plan on making several necklaces and bracelets in a variety of colors. I think that it would look so cute to pair several, brightly colored bracelets together!
How would you wear it?
Enjoy!
Next week's tutorial will be for the pretty little flower embellishment you see here in the pictures.
I love them! They look so trendy! I love your flower!
