This necklace is constructed by creating individual motifs and then assembling them. Create a variety of each motif to give your necklace a rich, layered look, similar to the image.

Using Light Pink or White/Cream thread, ch 5, join with sl st to first ch to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 1, 10 sc into the ring. Join with sl st to first sc. (10 sc)
Round 2 (Petals): *Ch 2, (dc, tr, dc) into next sc, ch 2, sl st into next sc*. Repeat from * to * 4 more times. You will have 5 petals.
FO, leaving a long tail for joining later.

Using Gold/Light Yellow thread, ch 8.
Round 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next 3 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in last ch. (7 sts). Work around the other side of the starting chain: sc in the bottom of the last sc, hdc in bottom of next hdc, dc in bottom of next 3 dc, hdc in bottom of next hdc, sc in bottom of first sc. Join with sl st to first sc. (14 sts total)
Round 2 (Edging with Picots): Ch 1, *sc in next st, picot (ch 3, sl st into first ch)*. Repeat from * around the entire leaf. Join with sl st to first sc.
FO, leaving a long tail for joining.
Assembly
Lay out your crocheted motifs on a flat surface in the desired arrangement before joining. The image shows a central V-shape, with motifs radiating outwards to create a substantial bib-style necklace. You’ll need to create a central focal point and then build the two ‘arms’ of the necklace.
Step 1: Create the Central Cluster. Start with one White/Cream flower. Arrange 2-3 Gold leaves around it. Place another White/Cream flower or a Gold leaf directly below, pointing downwards, to begin the cascade.
Step 2: Build the V-Shape. Continue adding motifs around the central cluster. Use a mix of Light Pink flowers, White/Cream flowers, and Gold leaves. Overlap them slightly and vary their angles for an organic, natural appearance. Build downwards and outwards to achieve the V-shape seen in the image.
Step 3: Form the Necklace Arms. From the upper sides of your V-shaped cluster, begin forming two ‘arms’ that will go around the neck. These arms should be narrower, primarily using alternating Light Pink flowers and Gold leaves, joined end-to-end or slightly overlapping. Continue until each arm is long enough to meet at the back of your neck when worn.
Step 4: Join Motifs. Using the tapestry needle and the long tails you left, carefully sew the motifs together at multiple contact points. Ensure they are securely attached to each other to maintain the necklace’s shape and integrity. You can also use a matching thread to sew if your tails are too short.
Finishing
Weave in all remaining loose ends securely with your tapestry needle.
Attach a jump ring to each end of the necklace arms.
Attach the lobster clasp to one of the jump rings. The other jump ring will serve as the attachment point for the clasp.
Try on your necklace and admire your elegant, handmade creation!
