Instructions
Main Flower Motif (Make 1 for the start of your choker):
R1: Start with a Magic Ring (MR). Ch 1, work 10 Sc into the ring. Join with Sl St to the first Sc. (10 Sc)
R2 (Petals): *Ch 5, Sk next Sc, Sl St into next Sc.* Repeat from * to * 5 times. You will have 5 Ch-5 loops, forming the petals. Join with Sl St to the base of the first Ch-5 loop. Fasten off.
Joining Subsequent Flower Motifs:
When making the 2nd and subsequent motifs, you will join them to the previous motif on R2 to create a continuous strip.
R1 for new motif: Follow R1 instructions for Main Flower Motif. (10 Sc)
R2 (Petals with join):
Make Petal 1: Ch 5, Sk next Sc, Sl St into next Sc.
Make Petal 2: Ch 5, Sk next Sc, Sl St into next Sc.
Join to previous motif (Petal 3 of current): Ch 2, Sl St into the 3rd petal Ch-5 loop of the previous motif, Ch 2, Sk next Sc on current motif, Sl St into next Sc. (This forms Petal 3 for the current motif and joins it to the previous one).
Join to previous motif (Petal 4 of current): Ch 2, Sl St into the 2nd petal Ch-5 loop of the previous motif, Ch 2, Sk next Sc on current motif, Sl St into next Sc. (This forms Petal 4 for the current motif and joins it to the previous one).
Make Petal 5: Ch 5, Sk next Sc, Sl St into next Sc.
Join with Sl St to the base of the first Ch-5 loop of the current motif. Fasten off.
Assembly and Finishing:
Continue making and joining motifs until the desired choker length is achieved (typically 10-15 motifs for an average choker, depending on yarn and hook size).
Using a sewing needle and matching fine thread, carefully sew one small pearl into the center of each completed flower motif.
Weave in all loose ends securely with your tapestry needle.
Attach a small jewelry clasp or ribbon ties to each end of the choker for closure.
