Instructions
This pattern creates individual flower motifs which are then joined together with gold chains to form the necklace.
Flower Motif (Make 15-20, depending on desired length):
Row 1 (Gold Center): With Gold Metallic Crochet Thread, create a Magic Ring (MR). Ch 2 (counts as first dc), work 14 dc into the MR. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial Ch 2. (Total: 15 dc stitches). Fasten off Gold Thread.
Row 2 (Cream Petals): Join Cream Crochet Thread into any dc stitch from Row 1.
*Ch 2, work 3 dc into the same dc stitch where you joined the thread. Ch 2, then sl st into the 3rd dc stitch from where the petal started (skipping 2 dc stitches between sl sts). This completes one petal.*
Repeat from * to * 4 more times around the gold center, creating a total of 5 distinct petals. Sl st to the base of the first petal to secure. Fasten off Cream Thread, leaving a small tail for weaving.
Assembly of the Necklace:
You will be joining the flowers both horizontally and with draped chains.
Lay out your completed flower motifs in a line to determine the desired length of your necklace.
Horizontal Connection: Using a yarn needle and a short length of Gold Metallic Crochet Thread, gently stitch together two adjacent petals of neighboring flowers. For example, stitch the right-most petal of Flower 1 to the left-most petal of Flower 2. Make a small, secure knot and weave in ends. Repeat for all flowers to form a continuous line.
Upper Draped Chains: Attach Gold Metallic Crochet Thread to the top-center (the peak of the petal) of the right-most petal of Flower 1. Ch 25-30 (adjust chain length for desired drape). Sl st to the top-center of the left-most petal of Flower 2. Repeat this for each pair of horizontally connected flowers, creating a continuous upper scallop. Secure ends.
Lower Draped Chains: Attach Gold Metallic Crochet Thread to the bottom-center (the peak of the petal) of the right-most petal of Flower 1. Ch 30-35 (adjust chain length for desired drape, slightly longer than upper chains). Sl st to the bottom-center of the left-most petal of Flower 2. Repeat this for each pair of horizontally connected flowers, creating a continuous lower scallop. Secure ends.
Finishing the Ends: On each end of the necklace, attach a small jewelry clasp using small pliers. You can create a small loop with a few chain stitches using gold thread if needed to attach the clasp securely. Weave in all remaining loose ends with your yarn needle.
