- Crochet thread
- Pair of scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch counter
- 6 spikes
- O ring
- Cup of caffeine (optional, but highly recommended!)
Crochet Instructions
This crochet choker pattern is beginner-friendly, but it does require some basic crochet knowledge. If you're new to crochet, don't worry – we'll guide you through the steps! Now, let's get started.
- Attach the crochet thread onto your hook by pulling up a loop.
- Chain three stitches, then place one single crochet in the second chain from your hook.
- Place one single crochet in the final stitch of the chain.
- Chain one and turn your project.
- In the first stitch, place a single crochet increase (two single crochet stitches in the same stitch).
- Follow it up with one single crochet in the last stitch.
- Chain one and turn your project.
- In the first stitch, place a single crochet increase.
- Follow it up with one single crochet in the next two stitches.
- Repeat steps 7-9 to continue increasing the size of your choker.
- For row number six, place one single crochet in each stitch across.
- Repeat row number six for rows seven through 26.
- Leave the yarn attached to your hook and move on to attaching the O ring.
- Chain one and attach the O ring using a single crochet.
- Cut the working yarn, leaving a long enough tail to weave in later.
- Repeat steps 1-15 to complete the other side of the choker.
- Attach spikes to the back of the choker, spacing them evenly.
- Screw the spike part onto the front of the choker.
- Weave in all the ends using a yarn needle, making sure each strand is securely fastened.
- To create the ties for the choker, add more crochet thread to your hook and chain 40 stitches on each side.
- Trim any excess yarn and you're done!
Tips and Tricks
- If you're new to crochet thread, be patient and stick with it. It may take some time to get used to working with a thinner yarn and smaller hook, but the end result is worth it.
- Count your stitches carefully, especially when working with crochet thread. It's easy to lose track, so double-check your stitch count to ensure a consistent and even choker.
- For added durability, go through each strand when weaving in the ends. This will ensure your choker withstands regular wear and tear.
