Beginner's Guide to Crochet - UK (2019-10)

BASIC TECHNIQUES

NOTES

Necklace is worked in multiple lengths of

chains which are secured into the jewellery

end caps.

If you don’t want to use end caps, you could

simply work several chains to the length you

desire and secure them with a slip stitch, or

twist them and sew the ends together.

NECKLACE

CHAINS (MAKE 24)

In each shade, make 6 lengths of chain

approx 90 stitches or measuring 32cm long.

TO MAKE UP

Block the chain lengths (see p131) to help

them lie flat, and let them dry.

Place the chain lengths alongside each other

and trim the ends.

Carefully apply glue inside one of the end

caps and insert all the ends of the chains at

once, using a crochet hook to push them

gently inside the cap. Slightly twist the chain

lengths and repeat process on the other end

with the second end cap. Leave to dry.

Attach 10cm (or length required) of linked

metal chain with fastening to each end cap.
