The Floral Necklace

Here comes my Crochet floral necklace. This design is inspired from Sylvia Gramani.

I had made this on order. She showed me a pic and asked me if I could replicate the same thing for her. I believe I have done justice to the pic. So now the necklace looks elaborate and a huge work. But break the design down and do each part and place them together. That is the concept here. Hope you love this DIY project. :)

Materials:

Crochet cotton wool - 75 gm

hook - 4 mm

thread

needle

pearls

glue

Abbreviation:

ch - chain

sc - single crochet

dc - double crochet

htr - Half Treble crochet

Tr - Treble crochet

The flower pattern is taken from Mary Jane site

Weave in your ends.

For different layered flowers the number of layers in the above pattern can be varied.

Other sections can be combined and fixed onto the necklace with help of few chain stitch. You can sew the pieces on the necklace with needle and thread.

You can add a button at the back for the fastening.

The work is almost done. For the final beauty add the pearl beads with glue.
