Instructions
This pattern is worked in sections: first the green choker base, then the individual flowers, followed by assembly and embellishments.
Choker Base (Green Yarn)
The choker base is made by creating a simple rectangular strip, then adding the leaf-like edging to both long sides.
Foundation Chain: Ch 6.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of the next 4 ch. (5 sc) Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2-60 (or until desired length, approx. 40-45 cm unstretched): Sc in each of the 5 sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Finish Off, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
Leaf Edging (Both Long Sides)
This edging creates the scalloped, leaf-like appearance of the green base.
Attach Light Green yarn with a sl st to one corner of a long edge of your finished base strip. Ch 1.
Along the edge: *Skip 1 row space, then in the next row space, work (sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc) – this forms one leaf point. Sl st into the next row space. Skip 1 row space.* Repeat * to * along the entire long edge until you reach the end.
Finish Off, weave in ends.
Repeat the Leaf Edging process on the opposite long edge of the base strip, ensuring the leaves align nicely with the first side.
Small Flower Motifs (Pink, Blue, Yellow Yarn)
Make approximately 10-12 flowers, evenly distributed in your chosen colors (e.g., 4 pink, 4 blue, 4 yellow).
Magic Ring: Make a magic ring.
Petals: *Ch 2, work 2 dc into the magic ring, ch 2, sl st into the magic ring.* Repeat * to * 5 times in total to create 5 petals.
Gently pull the tail of the magic ring to close the center of the flower tightly.
Finish Off, leaving a long tail for sewing onto the choker base.
Assembly and Embellishments
Attach Flowers: Using the long tails, carefully sew each flower onto the top/center of the green leaf points along your choker base. Distribute them evenly and alternate colors as desired (e.g., Pink, Blue, Yellow, Pink…).
Add Pearl Beads: Using a sewing needle and matching thread, sew one small pearl/silver bead securely into the center of each crocheted flower.
Add Drop Beads: Using a sewing needle and matching thread, attach a clear glass drop bead to the very tip of some of the bottom green leaf points. Space them out as desired for a delicate dangling effect.
Attach Closure: On one end of the choker, attach a small button or half of a lobster clasp. On the opposite end, create a small loop with a few chain stitches (or attach the other half of a lobster clasp) to serve as your closure. Ensure it’s secure.
Finishing: Weave in any remaining loose ends neatly with your tapestry needle.
Your beautiful Delicate Blossom Crochet Choker Necklace is now complete!
