Valentine's Necklace - free tutorial

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday and Welcome to the second project dedicated to Valentine's Day.

 

Today I'll show you how to make this cute necklace.

 

Gather your supplies:

 

 

 

* Decorative twisted cord

* Long strip of lace (with big holes on the upper edge)

* Crochet (or other) flower

* Beads (optional and maker's preference)

 

 

 

First insert the cord through the holes and gather the lace in the middle.

 

Use any crochet (cotton / other) flower you like.

 

The pattern for this flower goes like this:

 

Ch 5 and join to make a ring.

Rnd.1: In the ring, ch 6 (3 as the 1st dc + 3 for the chain), "dc1, ch3". Repeat "this" 4 times more. Sl st with beginning chain to end round.

Rnd.2: In the first chain space, make 1sc, 1hdc, 1 dc, 1hdc, 1sc. Repeat this pattern for all chain spaces.

Rnd.3: ch4, make a BCsc (between petals) all around.
Rnd.4: In the first chain space, make 1sc, 1hdc, 3 dc, 1hdc, 1sc. Repeat this pattern for all chain spaces. End with a sl st into the 1st petal of the round.

 

Cut pieces of lace and pick the edges to get a shabby look. Put them in the center and sew beads over them.

 

 

 

Sew flower on the side and your necklace is done!
