Chunky statement necklace FREE PATTERN







I'm so excited to be sharing this pattern with you all, after three live tutorials on Instagram it has proved to be very popular and I am already loving seeing everyone's finished necklaces.

This is a super fast make, the kind of thing you can hook up in every colour to go with every outfit!

Materials needed - 
T-shirt yarn (not much needed, approx 100g)
Yarn needle
Scissors
2 wooden beads (optional)

Pattern - 
Start by chaining 21
Row 1 - Dc in second chain from hook and each ch along (20 sts)
Row 2 - Ch3, turn (counts as Tr), skip a stitch, work tr1, ch2, tr1 in the same stitch, skip a stitch then work one tr into the next. Continue this pattern to the end of the row. You should have a total of 5 V's and end the row on a single Tr.
Row 3 - Ch1, turn. Work 1 dc into same stitch. Now work 5 trebles into the ch2 space of your V from the previous row. Dc 1 on top of single Tr post from previous row. Continue this pattern to the end of the row.
You should have 5 scallops.

Fasten off and weave in all ends.



Cut a length of yarn (this will tie around your neck) thread on to yarn needle and sew along to the back of your first row of dc leaving a long-ish tail. pull ends slightly to give your necklace a more rounded finish. Thread on wooden beads and Voila! How easy was that???

The thing I love most about this necklace is that it's so versatile. I have made it using Drops Paris which give a much more subtle, pretty look and also in DMC Natura XL which is still a statement!

The only thing I did different using these to yarns was on the last row I made 6tr in V stitch rather than 5.
You can change colour for row 3 for a totally different look too!



Please feel free to make this necklace as much as you want, selling your finished pieces if you wish but giving credit to the me as the designer.
Tag your makes with #mythreadthelove so I can see them :)

Happy hooking!!
