Assembly
Main Body: Lay out your Large Floral Motifs in a gentle curve on a flat surface to visualize the necklace shape. Use your tapestry needle and the remaining yarn tails (or a new piece of thread) to carefully sew the Large Floral Motifs together at the points where their outer edges naturally touch, forming the main decorative front of the necklace.
Connecting Gaps: Sew a Small Connecting Motif into each gap between the Large Floral Motifs. Attach the small motif to the nearest edge points of the adjacent large flowers to bridge the space gracefully. You may need to use two small motifs to connect two large flowers effectively depending on the spacing.
Neckline Chain: On each end of the assembled necklace body (the outermost Large Floral Motifs), attach a length of plain crochet chain. For a standard necklace length (approx. 18 inches total), you might need about 4-6 inches of chain on each side. Ch 50-70 stitches on each side, or create a chain and periodically slide up and secure a 3mm pearl for added sparkle.
Attach Clasp: Attach a jump ring to each end of the crocheted neckline chain. Then, attach a lobster clasp to one jump ring, completing your elegant Pearl Blossom Crochet Lace Necklace.
