Petals: (Ch 3, dc in next sc, ch 3, sl st in same sc) rep 8 times around. Fasten off.
Using metallic gold floss, create a small french knot or a few small stitches in the center of each daisy.
Lily Flower (Make 4-6, Cream/Off-White):
Start with MR, ch 1, 6 sc into MR. Sl st to first sc to join. (6 sc)
Petals: (Ch 4, sk 1 sc, (sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc) into next sc, ch 4, sl st into same sc) rep 3 times for 3 main petals. Adjust hook size if petals are too tight.
Stamens: Cut 3-4 short lengths of metallic gold floss. Thread through the center of the lily and knot securely on the backside to create stamens.
Crochet Rose (Make 4-6, Beige/Light Brown):
Ch 30.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, *sk 1 ch, (5 dc in next ch), sk 1 ch, sc in next ch*, rep from * to * across. You should have about 7-8 ‘shells’.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Starting from the sc end, tightly roll the strip into a rose shape. Use the long tail and a tapestry needle to sew the base of the rose securely, ensuring it holds its shape.
Leaf (Make 10-14, Light Sage Green):
Ch 8.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next 3 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in last ch.

Crochet Cross Pendant (Make 1, Beige/Light Brown):

Round 2 (Foundation for Arms): Ch 1, sc in first dc, *ch 5, sk 3 dc, sc in next dc*, rep from * to * 3 more times (4 ch-5 loops). Sl st to first sc.
Arm 1 (Top): In first ch-5 sp: Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc. (This forms a shell). Turn.

Rep Arm 1 for the remaining 3 ch-5 loops (bottom, left, right arms).
Edging for Cross: Join thread to any corner ch-2 sp of an arm. Ch 1, (sc, picot, sc) in ch-2 sp. Work sc/hdc/dc/tr along the arm edges, placing (sc, picot, sc) in strategic points (e.g., corners, mid-points of scallops) to create a lacy, scalloped edge. The center of the cross should have a dense cluster of stitches for rhinestone attachment.
Rhinestone Placement: Once the cross is complete, use fabric glue to attach the clear flat-back rhinestones to the center and along the arms of the cross, mirroring the visual in the image. Allow to dry completely.
Assembly:
Lay out your crocheted flowers, leaves, and the cross pendant in the desired arrangement for the necklace. Aim for a symmetrical layout, with the cross as the central focal point.
Carefully sew the components together using a sewing needle and matching thread. Join the flowers and leaves by their edges, creating a continuous chain.
Thread a pearl bead between some of the flowers, securing them with a knot on the back.
Attach the cross pendant securely to the center bottom of your floral chain.
At each end of the necklace chain, attach a jump ring. On one end, attach a lobster clasp to the jump ring.
