Assembly
Arrange your crocheted motifs on a flat surface to visualize the ‘V’ shape of the necklace. The design should be denser at the bottom point of the ‘V’ and gradually thin out towards the neck strap. Refer to the image for placement inspiration.
Start the ‘V’: Begin by selecting 3-4 leaves and a small flower to form the very bottom point of your necklace. Using your tapestry needle and the yarn tails, carefully sew these motifs together, ensuring they are securely attached and lay flat.
Build the Bib: Continue adding flowers and leaves, sewing them closely together, working outwards and upwards from your starting point. Vary the colors and types of motifs (3-petal vs. 5-petal flowers, different leaf colors) to create a rich, organic look. Overlap motifs slightly for a fuller appearance.
Define the Top Edge: As you build the necklace, ensure the top edge of your ‘V’ shape is relatively straight. This will be where the neck straps attach.
Create the Neck Straps: Once the main ‘V’ portion is complete (approx. 10-12 cm wide and 8-10 cm deep, or to your desired size), attach a length of plain chain or crocheted strap to each upper corner.
Crocheted Strap: Using your base string color, attach yarn to one upper corner with a Sl St. Ch 60-80 (or desired length for your neck). Fasten off. Repeat for the other side.
Attach Clasp: Using your tapestry needle, securely sew one part of your jewelry clasp to the end of one crocheted strap and the other part of the clasp to the end of the second strap. Weave in any remaining loose ends neatly into the back of the motifs.
Your beautiful, handmade crochet floral necklace is now complete! Wear it with pride or gift it to someone special.
