Row 2: (Working down the other side of the starting chain) Dc in first st, hdc in next st, sc in next st, sl st in last st. Fasten off.
Part 2: Assembly and Finishing
Creating the Center: Position the two Main Flowers (Yarn A) side-by-side, almost touching at their bases. Using Yarn B (Cream), crochet a short connecting chain (ch 5-7) between their bases. This forms the central point of your necklace.
Building the Branches: From this central connection point, begin attaching your Pointed Leaves (Yarn C) and Simple Leaves (Yarn B) symmetrically outwards on both sides. Use slip stitches to join the bases of leaves to the connecting chain or to each other.
Adding Small Flowers: Weave in Small Flowers (Yarn B) into the arrangement, securing them with slip stitches to surrounding leaves or small chain spaces. Aim for a natural, flowing appearance, layering motifs slightly as shown in the image.
Forming the ‘V’ Shape: Continue adding motifs, gradually building out the width of the necklace at the front and then tapering it as you work towards the back of the neck. Use small chains (ch 3-5) to bridge gaps between motifs if necessary to maintain flexibility and shape. Ensure symmetry on both sides.
Extending the Necklace: Once the crocheted motif section reaches your desired length (e.g., 15-18 inches), create a plain chain extension on each end using Yarn B (Cream). Crochet approximately 20-30 chs on each side, or until the necklace reaches your desired total length.
Attaching Findings: Using jewelry pliers, attach a jump ring to one end of the plain chain extension. Attach the clasp to this jump ring. On the other end of the plain chain extension, attach a single jump ring. Your necklace is now complete!
