Making It
Begin the Foundation
Start with the first chain and make the base for the necklace.
Work the Main Section
Make the necklace in easy sections, keeping your stitches even so the piece stays neat and flexible. The design is simple and approachable, so it is a nice little project for newer crocheters.
Change Size
Check the length as you go. Continue until the desired size and drape are achieved.
Complete the Necklace
Once the necklace looks and feels right, tie the yarn off and weave in the ends neatly so you have a comfortable piece to wear.
Some Useful Tips
Keep your tension loose so the necklace falls softly. If you are using leftover yarn, make sure it feels nice against your skin. Carefully weave in the ends because jewelry pieces get handled a lot.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Making the chain too tight
Not checking the length as you go
Using yarn that is too bulky
Leaving loose ends
Pulling the stitches unevenly

Caring For It
