Small Flower Motifs (Make 12-14 in various colors)
You’ll need a mix of colors for the centers and petals of these small flowers. Use Sky Blue, Lavender, Forest Green, and Golden Orange for centers, and contrasting colors for petals.
Round 1 (Center Color, e.g., Sky Blue): Create a MR, ch 1, work 6 sc into the ring. Join with sl st to the first sc. (6 sc)
Round 2 (Petal Color, e.g., Golden Orange): Join new petal color to any sc. *Ch 3, work 2 dc in the same sc, ch 3, sl st into the same sc (petal made). Sl st into the next sc.* Repeat from * to * 5 more times. You will have 6 petals in total, each worked into a separate sc from Round 1. Join with sl st to the starting sl st. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Assembly
Arrange the small flowers around the bottom and sides of the Central Sunflower Motif, as seen in the image. You’ll attach 5-6 flowers directly to the Golden Orange edge of the sunflower, typically around the bottom half. Then, join additional small flowers to each other to extend the necklace outwards on both sides.
Use your yarn needle and matching thread to carefully sew the small flowers to the Golden Orange edge of the Central Sunflower. Stitch securely.
Sew the adjacent small flowers together where their petals touch, creating a continuous, flowing design.
Necklace Strap
Cut approximately 6-8 strands of fine yarn, each about 20-24 inches long. Use a mix of colors that complement your necklace (e.g., Forest Green, Sky Blue, Golden Orange, Lavender, and optionally, Metallic Gold/Silver thread).
Gather the strands together and tie a knot at one end.
Braid the strands tightly until you reach the desired length for one side of your necklace strap.
Secure the braided end with a knot.
Repeat for the other side of the necklace strap.
Finishing
Attach one end of each braided strap to the outermost small flowers on each side of your assembled necklace using your yarn needle and matching thread, or by tying securely and weaving in ends.
Attach a jump ring to the end of one braided strap.
Attach the clasp to the end of the other braided strap.
Optionally, attach another jump ring to the first strap if you prefer a different clasping mechanism.
Weave in all remaining loose ends neatly with your yarn needle.
Your beautiful, handmade crochet sunflower necklace is now complete! Enjoy wearing your unique creation.
