I loved making the motifs for the En Fleur Cowl so much, that I decided to try crocheting them in size 5 pearl cotton thread. The result was an eye-catching necklace!
If you have the Winter issue of Crochet! magazine, you can make this necklace by using the motif instructions from the En Fleur Cowl pattern.
Here are the modifications:
En Fleur Necklace
Thread: DMC Petra size 5 Pearl Cotton
Hook Size: 1.75mm
Notions: Tapestry needle; sewing needle; invisible
nylon thread
Follow the instructions in the Winter 2014 issue of Crochet! magazine for the En Fleur Cowl, to make 7
Motifs.
For the eighth motif, follow the cowl Motif
instructions, but do not fasten off. After making the final sl st, turn the
Motif to the Wrong side, ch 10, then sl st back in same st. Turn the Motif to
the right side and make 15 sc sts into the ch lp. This forms the Fastening
Loop.
Fastening Dome:
Rnd 1: Rep rnd 1 instructions for cowl Motif.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in same st, then in each st around.
Sl st in beg sc to end rnd.
Rnd 3: Sl st in every other st around to close up
the Fastening Dome. Fasten off.
Finishing
Weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle.
Using invisible nylon thread and a sewing needle, stitch all 8 Motifs together
at the tops, where the groups of 3 dtr sts are, and putting the Motif with the
Fastening Loop on the end. Stitch the Fastening Dome to the end of the necklace
that is opposite the Fastening Loop. Pin the necklace out on a blocking board
and pin out into desired shape, then wet block. Allow the necklace to dry
completely before removing the pins.
