With only a ball chain and a crochet flower you can make a cute necklace very easily. Vary with the pattern, the yarn and the colors to make a necklace that matches your style. I’ve designed five different flower necklaces so that you can choose the one you like best: Dahlia, Waterlily, Sunflower, Forget-me-not and Papaver.
Skill Level: Easy
Materials
Yarn: Phildar Phil Coton 3 (Sunflower)
Color A 1 ball: Rose Saumon
Color B 1 ball: Colza
Hook: 3mm
Notions: Sewing needle and scissors, Ball chain with closure, length approximately 60 cm
Pattern Sunflower
Start with color A.
- Chain 3 in a magic ring (counts as 1 half double crochet + 1 chain).
- * Make 1 half double crochet in the ring, chain 1. * Repeat 8 more times. Make 1 slip stitch in the first half double crochet that you made in row 1. Change color to color B.
- Make 1 slip stitch in the chain-1 space, chain 2. Make 1 cluster stitch of 3 double crochet, chain 2. * In the next chain-1 space: a cluster stitch of 4 double crochet, chain 2. * Repeat around. Make 1 slip stitch in the first cluster stitch that you made at the beginning of this row.
- * In the next chain-2 space: 2 single crochet. In the next cluster stitch: 1 single crochet. * Repeat around. Make 1 slip stitch in the first single crochet that you made at the beginning of this row. Fasten off.
The pattern for the Sunflower is provided but will the others (Dahlia, Waterlily, Forget-me-not and Papaver) be available at some point? Or are they available elsewhere?
Hi there! This pattern excerpt was from Annemarie’s book which I believe is now out of print, but she may have similar patterns over on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/annemarie-benthem-2?page=1
I’ve reached out to her to see if the other necklace patterns are published elsewhere. She or I will reply as soon as possible! – Nicola, Editor
