Instructions
This delicate necklace is crafted by creating small, three-petal motifs and connecting them sequentially. Beads are integrated into some petals for a subtle sparkle. The colors alternate between Light Blue-Grey and Soft Sage Green.
Special Note on Beads: To add a bead, string all your beads onto both Color A and Color B threads before you begin crocheting. When instructed, slide a bead up the thread and work the next stitch around it or complete a slip stitch by sliding the bead onto the loop before finishing.
First Motif (Color A – Light Blue-Grey)
With Color A, make a starting slip knot and Ch 6. Leave a long tail (approx. 8-10 inches) for tying the necklace later.
Motif Base: Sl st into the 3rd ch from hook. This creates a small ring that will be the center of your first leaf.
First Petal: Into the ring just formed: [ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st].
Second Petal: Into the SAME ring: [ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st]. (Optional: Slide a bead up the thread before the final sl st of this petal).
Third Petal: Into the SAME ring: [ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st].
Your first 3-petal leaf motif is complete.
Ch 3. This chain will connect to the next motif.
Second Motif (Color B – Soft Sage Green)
Drop Color A. Pick up Color B.
Motif Base: Sl st into the 3rd ch of the Ch 3 you just made with Color A. This forms the ring for the second leaf, attaching it to the first.
First Petal: Into the ring just formed: [ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st].
Second Petal: Into the SAME ring: [ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st]. (Optional: Slide a bead up the thread before the final sl st of this petal).
Third Petal: Into the SAME ring: [ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st].
Your second 3-petal leaf motif is complete.
Ch 3. This chain will connect to the next motif.
Continuing the Necklace
Continue alternating Color A and Color B motifs.
For each new motif:
Drop the previous color and pick up the new color.
Sl st into the 3rd ch of the Ch 3 connector from the previous motif to form the new motif’s base ring.
Work the three petals into this new ring as described above.
Ch 3 to create the connector for the next motif.
Repeat until you have approximately 25-30 motifs (or desired length).
Finishing
After completing your last motif and its connecting Ch 3, cut both working threads, leaving long tails (approx. 8-10 inches).
Use these tails to tie a secure knot at each end of the necklace, creating the tying mechanism.
Carefully weave in any other loose ends with your tapestry needle, ensuring they are hidden and secure within the motifs.
