Assembly
1. Create the Necklace Band:
Using Color A (Cream), ch 100-120 (or desired length for the back of the neck). Work a row of sc in each ch across. Fo. This will be the base onto which motifs are sewn.
2. Arrange and Sew Motifs:
Lay out the necklace band.
Position the Central Drop Motif at the center front of the necklace band. Sew securely using the long tail or a new piece of thread.
Begin arranging the Lacy 8-Petal Flowers and Leaves around the Central Drop, creating clusters on either side, as shown in the image. Alternate colors (Cream and Pale Peach) for the flowers.
Place the Small 5-Petal Flowers as fillers in between the larger motifs and extending slightly up the necklace band.
Use your tapestry needle and the long tails (or new threads) to carefully sew each motif onto the necklace band and to adjacent motifs where they touch. Ensure all pieces are securely attached to prevent sagging or loss.
Continue adding flowers and leaves, building up the floral clusters to create a full, decorative front section for the necklace. Aim for a symmetrical, yet organic, look as depicted in the image.
3. Finishing:
Weave in all remaining loose ends securely.
Consider blocking the finished necklace gently to help the motifs lay flat and retain their shape.
Your beautiful crochet floral statement necklace is now complete! Enjoy wearing your unique, handcrafted piece.
