Instructions

Flower Motif (Make 11 in Cream, 14 in Soft Yellow)
Start with a Magic Ring (MR).
R1 (Petals): Ch 1, work (sc, ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sc) into the MR. This forms your first petal.
Repeat (sc, ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sc) into the MR four more times, for a total of 5 petals.
Pull the MR closed tightly. Sl st to the first sc to join.
Fasten off, leaving a tail approximately 6 inches long for joining.
Leaf Motif (Make 1 in Soft Yellow)
Ch 7.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in last ch. (6 stitches)
Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Sc in first sc, hdc in next hdc, dc in next 2 dc, hdc in next hdc, sc in last sc. (6 stitches)
Sl st along the side edge and bottom to clean up the edge, ending at the tip.
Fasten off, leaving a tail approximately 6 inches long for joining.
Assembly
Prepare Motifs: Weave in all starting tails for all flowers and the leaf. Block your flowers gently if desired to help them lay flat.
Layout the Necklace:
Arrange 11 Cream and 11 Soft Yellow flowers alternately for the main necklace chain. A suggested sequence would be C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y-C-Y.
For the central V-drop, take the remaining 3 Soft Yellow flowers and one Leaf motif. These will be attached below the central flower of your main chain.
Joining the Main Chain: Using your yarn needle and a small piece of matching thread (or the tails you left), carefully sew the flowers together. Join them where their petals naturally touch, typically by taking a tiny stitch or two through adjacent petal tips. Aim for a subtle connection that holds the flowers together without being visible.
Creating the V-Drop:
Identify the central flower of your main chain (it will likely be a Cream flower if you started with Cream and have an odd number of flowers).
Attach the first Soft Yellow V-drop flower to the bottom tip of the central main chain flower.
Attach the second Soft Yellow V-drop flower to the bottom of the first V-drop flower.
Attach the third Soft Yellow V-drop flower to the bottom of the second V-drop flower.
Finally, attach the Leaf motif to the bottom of the third V-drop flower.
Attaching the Clasp: At each end of the necklace chain, attach one half of your jewelry clasp. You can do this by stitching it securely to the last petal of the end flowers using your yarn needle and thread, or by using small pliers if your clasp requires jump rings.
