Assembly
Lay out your crocheted flowers and leaves in a pleasing arrangement, referring to the image for guidance. The center will feature the largest flower, flanked by other flowers and leaves.
Using a tapestry needle and a length of matching yarn (Yarn A – Cream works well for most joins), carefully sew the motifs together at their touching points. Ensure the connections are secure but not bulky.
Continue joining motifs to create the desired length for the decorative front part of the necklace.
Once the main floral section is assembled, attach a chain of Yarn A (Cream) to each end. The length of this chain should be sufficient to tie around the neck or attach to a necklace clasp.
