Hi,
Today I am going to show you how to make a very feminine and elegant bracelet cum necklace which is great for an evening out with friends or when you want the world to know you are a super Diva!
Materials:
The necklace / bracelet is very easy to make and takes less than an hour to finish. All you need is a 3mm crochet hook, some silver metallic yarn, about 50 pearl beads, an embroidery needle for sewing in the loose ends and knowledge of how to do the simple chain stitch. That’s it! Hope you have fun making this!
Instructions:
- Thread 48 to 50 pearl beads onto your metallic yarn
- Using a 3mm crochet hook, make 5 chain stitches (ch)
- Slide a pearl bead up very close to the hook and, keeping the pearl in place, ch 1 to secure the pearl into place.
Make sure that each time you crochet the pearl, you pull the yarn tight in order to get a neat and professional finish, otherwise the pearl will hang down too loosely. - Ch 5
- Repeat rows 3 and rows 4 until all the pearls have been secured onto your necklace.
Check that the bracelet fits comfortably by wrapping it around your wrist loosely. Remember that there are no fastenings on the bracelet therefore make sure that you allow some slack room to slip your hand through the last wrap-around. - Ch 1 and then cast off. Leave 9 inches of yarn for sewing before you cut the yarn
- Using a needle, secure the ends together. Cut off loose ends.
Happy crocheting!
