DESIGN NOTES
All pieces are crocheted starting from the narrow end. The choker is a straight strip of laces while the necklace curves a little bit to fit on or just above the collar bone. The choker pattern is also suitable for making a collar (shorter version of a choker that goes round the middle of the neck) and a bracelet. Necklace lengths below the neckline may not be suitable for this pattern.
