Crochet necklace #1
This is necklace #1 because I can tell that I’m going to make many more of these! It’s a quick project with instant gratification. This is my first effort, so I’m sure that I’ll be able to refine things a little as I go along.
The pattern for the necklace is here, and the pattern for the flower here. I used some Cleckheaton Bamboo that was left over from another project, with a bamboo hook. I don’t think that I’ll use bamboo hooks with bamboo yarn in the future - it seemed to grab a little.
The back has a very simple button closure. Well, now I’m off to crochet some more of these (although I should be sewing up that top from a few posts ago - it’s finally cut out and ready to assemble).

Wowee, I love that! Thanks to your flowers, I went home and learned to crochet a few different ones after Brown Owls crochet night. (Unblogged as yet… seem to have misplaced my mojo!)

That is beautiful. I think the choice of yarn really works. The colours look great.

Beautifully done. The necklace is so versatile and can be changed for any occasion with yarn selection. Thanks for providing the link to my pattern.

Your necklace turned out great. I love the flower! I just made this a few weeks ago. I’m learning to crochet and could have really used that flower pattern. I had to wing it which was difficult as a beginner. Still I was happy with how it turned out. I can’t wait to see what other necklaces you create.
