A crochet flower necklace is such a pretty little project when you want a handmade, light and easy to wear. This style has a playful and delicate feel to it and is a lovely way to use a bit of yarn for a quick accessory. I picked a tutorial that is easy for beginners and uses basic crochet stitches and shows you how to make a flower choker one stitch at a time.
Why You’ll Love This Project
This is a fun project because it is small, wearable and simple to personalize. It gives you the cute floral look without all that big time commitment.
Materials Required
- Threads
- Crochet hook Beads Scissors Tapestry needle
Yarn and Hook Size Use a yarn and hook size appropriate for the fit and texture you want. For the chosen tutorial, the search snippet says weight 4 yarn, 5 mm hook and pony beads.
Best Yarn For This Pattern
A smooth yarn, like cotton or a cotton blend, is good for a flower necklace because it helps the petals keep their shape. For a softer look, choose a light-weight yarn with a gentle drape.
Level of Skill
Simple to teach. The tutorial is written like a simple step by step flower choker using very basic crochet techniques.
Size & Fit Guide
You can adjust the length of the necklace to fit snug as a choker or longer as a necklace. Adjust the length as needed before tying off the ties or end sections.
Used Stitches
The flower and the band of the necklace are made with basic crochet stitches.
How to Make
Begin the Foundation
First do the flower section so you have your focal point ready. Work neatly and keep tension even so the petals sit well.
Main Section Work
Once the flower is made, continue with the narrow strands of the necklace on each side. Keep trying the length against your neck or the desired fit as you go.

Join or Make
Add any bead details you wish, where you want them, making sure the sides look balanced. If your piece has ties, leave them alone.
Edges Finish
Fasten off neatly and weave in ends well. Shape flower gently so it sits nicely when worn.
Useful hints
- If you want to mark the flower center or sections of petals, use a stitch marker.
- Try it on before you finish the last side.
- If flower curls, gently shape with fingers before wearing.
- Weave the ends in well. Jewelry gets played with a lot.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- having one side longer than the other
- Drawing the stitches too tight
- Failing to check the fit as you go
- Leaving too loose ends
- Too late in the process to add beads
Ideas for Personalization
- Try a different flower color for a brighter feel.
- Add more flowers for a more substantial statement necklace.
- Beads for a sweeter dressy finish.
- Floral necklace or choker. It’s just a floral necklace.
Style Advice
This looks cute with summer tops, dresses, simple tees or layered with other handmade accessories. Also a nice little gift for someone who likes soft, feminine pieces.
Care Directions
If needed, gently hand wash in cool water. Reshape flower while damp and lay flat to dry. Lay it flat so the petals hold their shape.
Time Required
This may take a few hours depending on your speed, yarn and size and stitch pattern.
Conclusion
This crochet flower necklace is a lovely little project, which feels quick, creative and easy to make your own. It’s a great choice when you want something handmade that you can finish and wear right away.
