A very easy to make cute necklace.

Rainbow String Flower Necklace

Skill Level:

Easy

Materials:

• Small amounts of light worsted yarn (No 3) in various colors – I used, green, pink, cream, purple, aqua, yellow and dark pink
• Size 3.00 mm
• Yarn Needle
• Small button

Abbreviations:

SC – single crochet

CH – chain

SL ST – slip stitch

Finished Size:

Fits my preschool daughter. If hooked with a 3, 50 or 4, 00 mm hook can fit an adult.

Notes:

Neck strings can be made to any length to fit!
This is a fun project to experiment with – different yarns and size hooks!

Make 4 – 6 strings – depending on yarn. I made 5.
STEP 1 & 2:

String One: CH 90 (I made 2)
String Two: CH 100 (I made 2)
String Three: CH 110

Pattern: Work 1 SC into 6^th CH from hook, work 1 SC into each CH until end, CH 5, SL ST into bottom of last SC worked.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Repeat pattern for all the strings; work the strings in different colors.

STEP 3:

Knot new yarn onto hook, insert hook through the 5 CH loop on all the strings – see photo above

(CH 3 [counts as 1 DC], work 11 DC into ring)

STEP 2:
Working into front loops only;
Join new yarn; CH 3, work 2 DC into same loop, CH 3, SL ST into same loop.
*SL ST into next loop; work [3 CH, 2 DC, 3 CH] into next loop, SL ST into same loop.

Repeat from * 4 more times (6 petals made), SL ST into the back loop of the first loop worked in

STEP 3:
CH 4, SKIP back loop behind first petal, SL ST into next back loop.

Repeat from * 4 more times, 6 x 4CH loops. SL ST into first loop worked in.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

STEP 4:
Join new yarn into any 4 CH loop; CH 3, work [1 DC, 2 TR, 1 DC] into same loop, CH 3, SL ST into same loop.
*SL ST into next loop; CH 3, work [1 DC, 2 TR, 1 DC] into loop, SL ST into same loop.

Repeat from * 4 more times (6 petals made), SL ST into the back loop of the first loop worked in.

STEP 5:
*CH 5, SL ST into the loop between the petals.

Repeat from * 5 more times, 6 x 5CH loops. SL ST into first loop worked in.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

STEP 6:
What it looks at the back

STEP 7:
Join new yarn into any 5 CH loop; CH 3, work [2 DC, 2 TR, 2 DC] into same loop, CH 3, SL ST into same loop.
*SL ST into next loop; CH 3, work [2 DC, 2 TR, 2DC] into loop, SL ST into same loop.

Repeat from * 4 more times (6 petals made), SL ST into the back loop of the first loop worked in.

Sew the flower onto the neck string end without the 6 CH loop.
