Personalize it with your favorite pastel shades, make it as a thoughtful gift, or simply treat yourself to a charming accessory that reflects your individual flair. This pattern guides you through each step to ensure a beautiful and rewarding crafting experience.
Foundation Chain: Ch 100, or desired length for your choker. Adjust chain length as needed (ensure it’s an even number of stitches for consistent spacing).
Row 1 (Upper Edge – Flower Attachment): Sc in 2nd ch from hook. *Ch 2, sk next ch, sc in next ch*. Repeat from * to * across the entire chain. You will now have a series of ch-2 spaces along one edge of your foundation chain.
Row 2 (Lower Edge – Scallops): Ch 1, turn your work. You will now be working along the *unworked loops* of your original foundation chain. *[Sl st into the next unworked ch, sk 1 ch, work 5 dc into the next unworked ch, sk 1 ch]*. Repeat from * to * across the entire length. Sl st into the last unworked chain to finish the base. FO.
Crochet Flowers (Pastel Colors)
You will make a separate flower for every other ch-2 space created in Row 1 of the Choker Base, alternating colors. For a typical 100-ch base, you’ll have about 25 flowers.
Flower Petals: Using a pastel color, join yarn with a sl st into one of the ch-2 spaces from Row 1 of your cream base.
Work the first petal: (Ch 2, 2 dc into the same ch-2 space, ch 2, sl st into the same ch-2 space).
Repeat the petal instruction *4 more times* into the *same ch-2 space* to create a total of 5 petals for one flower.
Sl st to finish the flower. Cut yarn, leaving a short tail to weave in.
Repeat for the remaining flowers: Skip the next ch-2 space on the cream base, then attach the next flower to the following ch-2 space. Continue this pattern (flower, skip space, flower, skip space) alternating through your chosen pastel colors until all desired flowers are attached.
Finishing Touches
Attach Beads: Using a sewing needle and matching sewing thread, carefully sew a small pearl bead into the center of each crocheted flower.
Attach Clasp: Using a tapestry needle, secure a small lobster clasp to one end of the choker and a jump ring or a short chain (made with a few ch sts) to the other end. Weave in all remaining yarn tails securely.
