Remember I told you last time that I gave my lovely mum a necklace for her birthday? Well... tadaaaaa... I know, I know... I should have posted a picture of her wearing it here... but I forgot to ask her and she lives in another country than I do. But mum, I know you are reading this. If you feel like showing us you wearing your necklace, I'm happy to add the picture later on! ;-)
This is me, wearing my own version of the necklace. I love how colourful it is. As you might see, the flower is a little higher placed than in the necklace above. I explain exactly how to do this in the pattern itself. And as far as the pattern is concerned: my testers found it all super simple and well explained. Every
slightly adventurous beginner will be able to make this necklace without any problem. I did include some front post stitches for the flower, but if you are not familiar with them, don't be scared. YouTube is full of videos showing how to do front post stitches. The rest is all really straightforward.
I used hook and eye closures for this necklace but my testers have tried other things as well. You can close the it for instance with a button or with a bead. It all looks lovely, just make sure your closing is tight enough so you will not lose your work!
Now for the really good news: This pattern will be released as a paid pattern, but because it is summer and I feel generous, I decided to give it away for
FREE for the first 48 hours. You will be able to
download the pattern without any costs from my
Ravelry store this weekend. If you do not have an account there, go get yourself one! ;-) Ravelry is fantastic. It is full of paid and free patterns, yarns, ideas, groups, forums and all possible colours of the world. Really, and the good news is: it does not cost you anything to make an account and start exploring their wonderful database. From Monday onwards, the pattern will also be available in my
Etsy shop.
So hurry up, and go get the pattern 😏. Oh and please, if you download it there, add it to your favourites as well. That will help me to get some better search results for the pattern which is of course the most important way to get my patterns out there. If you like what I make and want to see more of it when it comes out, feel free to sign up for this blog. I promise, I do not spam you, and I will not do anything else with your email than sending you updates of my blog posts now and then. Thank you so much and as always:
Happy Crochet!
