Instructions
Gauge: Not critical for this project, but aim for a tight, even fabric.
Part 1: The Small 5-Petal Flowers (Make 12 in Pale Pink, 10 in Sage Green, 10 in Cream)
Round 1: Start with a MR. Ch 1, 5 sc into the ring. Join with sl st to the first sc. (5 sts)
Round 2 (Petals): *Ch 2, dc into the same sc, ch 2, sl st into the same sc.* Rep from * 5 times around. Fasten off, leaving a 6-inch tail for weaving in or joining.
Part 2: The Main Garland Section
The garland is made by joining flowers and beaded chains. You’ll create a central point and extend outwards.
Flower A (Central Droop): Using Pale Pink, make one flower. Do not fasten off the last petal.
Connecting to Beads (Flower A): Ch 10. Thread 3 pearl beads onto the chain, then sc into the 10th ch (around the beads). Ch 1. Skip a petal on Flower A, sl st into the center of the next petal. (This forms a small beaded loop). Fasten off.
Flower B (Center Bottom): Using Pale Pink, make one flower. Attach a pearl bead to its center using the beading needle and thread. This flower will connect to the droop from Flower A.
Connecting Flower A to Flower B: Using the tail from the Ch 10 of Flower A, carefully sew it to the back of Flower B’s top petal. Ensure the bead droop is centered below Flower B.
Joining Flowers Horizontally:
Using Cream thread, make one flower.
Using Sage Green thread, make one flower.
Using Pale Pink thread, make one flower.
Assembly sequence (from center outwards): Start with Flower B (center bottom). Attach a Sage Green flower to its left side by a small ch 3 and sl st. Attach a Cream flower to its right side by a small ch 3 and sl st.
Beaded Chains between Flowers:
Cut a 12-inch length of Cream thread. Thread 5-7 pearl beads onto it. Create a small loop with the beads.
Attach one end of this beaded loop to the side of the Sage Green flower (left of Flower B).
Attach the other end of the beaded loop to the side of the Pale Pink flower (left of the Sage Green).
Rep this process for the right side of Flower B, joining the Cream flower and another Pale Pink flower.
Continue adding alternating Pale Pink, Sage Green, and Cream flowers, creating small ch-3 sl st connections or beaded chain loops between them, following the visual pattern in the image. Aim for symmetry on both sides of the central drop. The necklace has about 17-19 flowers in the main garland section.
Some flowers in the garland have a single pearl bead sewn into their center for added sparkle.
Side Droops: At intervals (approx. every 3rd flower) along the garland, create small beaded droops: Ch 5, thread 2-3 beads, sl st back into the 5th ch, sl st into the base flower.
Part 3: Finishing the Necklace Chain
Once the main floral garland is complete and reaches your desired length around the neck (ensure it’s symmetrical), attach a plain chain of ch sts to each end.
Side Chains: From the outermost flower on each side of the garland, ch approximately 50-70 sts (adjust for desired necklace length).
Attach one half of your jewelry clasp to one end of this chain and the other half to the other end.
