The Best Yarn for This Project
For this use a soft, comfortable yarn are best. Pick something soft with good stitch definition so the flower shape stands out well and the necklace still feels comfortable to wear.
Skill Levels
Good for beginners. The tutorial is a step-by-step project using simple crochet techniques.
Size & Fit Guide
You can pull the neck cord out longer or shorter, depending on how you want it to sit, Try on the fit as you go along, especially if you want it to feel more like a choker or a bit of a looser necklace.
Stitches Employed
The necklace and flower parts of the tutorial are made using basic crochet stitches.
How to Make It
Begin the Foundation
Make the necklace cord. Work it up to a length that feels good on your neck.
Add the Flower Eggs
Crochet the flower piece separately. Then shape it up nicely so the petals look even. This flower will be the center piece for the neckless.
To Add Beads
For a fun finish, add the pony beads on the necklace in the places shown in the tutorial. This step is easier with the wide bead opening.
Size Change
Try the fit around your neck before you finish, and change the length if you need to.
Finish the Ends
Tie the ends well, weave everything in nicely and place the flower nicely at the front.
Helpful Hints
- Keep your tension fairly even so the necklace doesn’t twist.
- Try on for fit before fastening off.
- For a balanced look, space the beads evenly.
This is a small wearable piece so be careful to weave in the ends.
Shape the flower gently before you wear it.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Making the cord too short too soon
- Using beads with holes that are too small
- pulling stitches too closely
- The flower is left uneven
- Forget to check fit before finishing
Customisation Ideas
You can change the colour of the flower, use more than one colour, add extra beads or make the necklace longer for a softer drape. It would look cute with a matching bracelet or hair tie too.
Styling Tips
This kind of necklace looks great with simple tops, summer dresses, beach outfits or festival looks. It is also a sweet handmade gift for a person who loves soft and playful accessories.
Care Instructions
Wash by hand gently in cool water if needed. Reshape the flower while it is still wet and let dry flat. Lay flat to keep petals in shape.
