Side Panel Vines (Make 2 – Mint Green)

Row 2: Sl st in 2nd ch from hook, ch 3, dc in next ch. *Ch 3, skip 2 ch, sl st in next ch, ch 3, dc in next ch.* Repeat from * across for desired length, forming a delicate vine with loops for leaves/flowers. You’ll want about 4-5 ‘loops’ on each side.

Assembly
Connect Medallion to Side Panels: Using Mint Green thread, carefully sl st or sc the inner points of the Side Panel vines to the top ‘points’ of the Central Medallion. The goal is to create the V-shape seen in the image.
Pearl Placement:
Using sewing needle and matching thread, attach single pearls to the centers of some flowers.
Attach dangling pearls to the tips of some leaf clusters and flower clusters on the side panels.
Attach a larger single pearl to the very bottom point of the Central Medallion.
Carefully sew smaller pearls directly into the lace fabric around the medallion and along the vines where desired for extra sparkle.
Necklace Strap: Extend the vines upwards. On each side, ch 50-70 (adjust for desired necklace length), then sl st back down this chain, creating a sturdy strap. Fasten off.
Finishing: Using jewelry pliers, attach a jump ring to one end of the necklace strap and the lobster clasp to the other end. Attach a final jump ring to the clasp end for adjustable closure. Weave in all remaining loose ends securely. Block gently if needed to shape the lace.
