Instructions
Gauge: Not critical for this project, but ensure your stitches are tight and consistent for a delicate lace look.
Notes: This pattern uses a ‘rolled rose’ technique for the flowers. The leaves are worked around a chain. Work all pieces tightly to maintain shape.
Central Motif Pieces:
Large Teal Rose (Make 1): With Color A, ch 35. Row 1: Hdc in 3rd ch from hook, *[dc, tr] in next ch, [tr, dc] in next ch, [hdc, sc] in next ch*. Repeat from * 4 more times (5 petal sections total). Sl st in last ch. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Gently roll the strip from one end into a rose shape. Secure the base by stitching through the layers with the long tail.
Medium Cream Roses (Make 2): With Color B, ch 30. Row 1: Hdc in 3rd ch from hook, *[dc, dc] in next ch, [hdc, sc] in next ch*. Repeat from * 4 more times (5 petal sections total). Sl st in last ch. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Roll and secure as for the Large Teal Rose.
Small Teal Roses (Make 2): With Color A, ch 25. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, *[hdc, dc] in next ch, [sc, hdc] in next ch*. Repeat from * 4 more times (5 petal sections total). Sl st in last ch. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Roll and secure as for the Large Teal Rose.

FO, leaving a tail for sewing.
Assembly of Main Pendant:
Arrange the large teal rose in the center. Position the two medium cream roses on either side, slightly above the central rose.
Attach the small teal roses and teal leaves around this central arrangement, creating the flowing shape seen in the image. Use your sewing needle and thread tails to securely stitch the pieces together at their bases, ensuring a flat and stable structure.
Adding Beads: Once the main floral arrangement is stitched together, use Color A thread and your sewing needle to string seed beads onto small chain loops. Create small ch 3-5 arcs between some of the flowers and leaves, stringing 1-3 beads onto the chain before securing the loop with a sl st to an adjacent motif. Refer to the image for bead placement.
Creating the Neck Strap:
The neck strap consists of two delicate strands. Each strand is approximately 6-8 inches long (adjust to desired necklace length before clasp).
Decorative Chain Motif (Make 2 strands): With Color A, create a chain of connected small loops. For each loop: Ch 3, sl st into the first chain to form a tiny ring. Ch 3, then repeat the loop. Continue this for the desired length of the strap (approx. 6-8 inches per strand).
Attach one end of each decorative chain strand to the upper edges of your assembled floral pendant with sl sts.
At the other ends of the decorative chains, attach the two parts of your jewelry clasp set using small pliers. Ensure the clasp and extender chain are securely fastened.
Finishing:
Weave in all remaining loose ends securely with your sewing needle. Take care to hide them within the stitches so they are invisible and won’t unravel.
Gently block your necklace if needed to help the motifs lay flat and maintain their shape.
