How to Make a Beautiful Rose Choker Necklace

Crocheting your own accessories can be a fun and rewarding hobby. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a beautiful rose choker necklace using crochet techniques. Not only is this necklace a stylish accessory, but it also makes for a perfect gift. Whether you're an experienced crocheter or a beginner looking for a new project, this tutorial is for you. So, let's grab our crochet hooks and yarn and get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. Here's a list of what you'll need:

• Weight 3 yarn
• 1.9 millimeter crochet hook
• Button (optional)
• Darning needle
• Scissors

Make sure you have all the materials ready before we move on to the next step.

Making the Foundation Stitches

To start our rose choker necklace, we'll begin by making the foundation stitches. These stitches will form the base for our flower design. Using a slip knot, create 58 foundation single crochet stitches. If you're not familiar with foundation stitches, don't worry. I'll explain the process in detail in another video. Foundation stitches are great because they eliminate the need for a separate chain stitch, making the whole process faster. Once you have 58 stitches, chain up two and insert your hook into the first chain. Be sure to go through both the front and back loops. Pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through the top loop (foundation). Then, yarn over and pull through two more loops for a single crochet. Repeat this process for a total of 58 stitches.

Creating the Petals of the Flower

Now that we have our foundation stitches, we'll move on to creating the petals of our flower. To create the petals, we'll be working with V-stitches. Begin by chaining up five and turning your work. Skip the first stitch (connected to the chain) and skip two more stitches. In the third stitch, double crochet. Yarn over, insert your hook into the third stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops, then yarn over and pull through two more loops to complete the double crochet. Repeat this process for the rest of the row, creating V-stitches. Chain up two, skip two stitches, and double crochet into the third stitch. Continue this pattern until the end of the row, finishing with a double crochet in the last remaining stitch. This should create a fan-like shape.

Rolling and Securing the Flower

Once we have our petals, it's time to roll and secure the flower. Start by rolling the smallest petals inward with the largest petals on the outside. Make a slip knot, insert your hook into the foundation single crochet row, and pull the slip knot through. Roll the flower, placing a slip stitch into the foundation single crochet row to secure it. Repeat this process, rolling and slip stitching, until the entire flower is secured. Finish with a chain of one, cut the yarn, and secure it.

Weaving in Ends and Cleaning Up

Before moving on to the necklace portion, it's important to weave in all the loose ends and clean up the flower. Use a darning needle to weave in the ends, making sure everything is neatly secured. Trim off any excess yarn for a tidy finish. This step is crucial for achieving a polished final product.

Making the Necklace Portion

Now, let's move on to creating the necklace portion of our choker. Start by making a slip knot and chaining to your desired length. Remember to count your chains, as we'll need the same number of chains on the other side as well. Find a spot on the back of the flower, insert your hook, and single crochet down the center rows to attach it to the necklace portion. After attaching, chain up the same number of chains as the first side and cut the yarn. Secure the yarn, trim off any excess, and weave in the loose ends.

Adding a Button (Optional)

To add a unique touch to your rose choker necklace, consider adding a button. This step is optional but can give your necklace a stylish finishing touch. Use a darning needle to thread the button through the back of the flower and secure it. Be sure to weave in any loose ends and tidy up the necklace.
