This necklace is made with crochet cotton thread size 8.

The Layered Scallops Necklace is a variation of the Crocheted Lace Necklace using the Shell and Bobble Trim that I made last year. These projects are based on the simple idea of turning crochet edgings and trimmings into jewelry using lace weight cotton thread, beads, sequins and other notions.

Today, I finished writing the pattern for a new crocheted necklace, Black Lacy Triangles. You may download the pattern here. The pattern now includes crochet symbolcraft.


If you downloaded the earlier version of the pattern, please take note of this errata (below), or you can download the corrected version thru the link above.

Errata: At Rnd 3, do not fasten off. Continue to rnd 4:
Rnd 4

Inspired by antique edgings, this lacy necklace is quite easy to make.

This black lacy triangles necklace is inspired by one of the antique edgings in the book “Edgings in Crochet, Book no. 4″ by Adeline Cordet which you can find at the Antique Pattern Library. For this project, you will need some sewing thread, needle (with very small eye), some gold cup beads and gold flat sequins. You will also need a bead (for enclosure) about 1cm in diameter.

I used a steel crochet hook size 6 (1mm) and black Hamanaka Lacy Crochet thread (cotton).

Edgings and trimmings in crochet make great sources of ideas for crocheted jewelry.

If you would like to do a CAL on this project, please let me know. I am interested in making another necklace this time using Philippine-made cotton thread in light color.
