Step 1

To make the necklace

Thread your needle with 80 cm of thread and pick up 3x R10A. Leaving a 15 cm tail, pass through all the R10A again to form a triangle and then pass through the first R10A again. Figure 1.

Step 2

Add 1x R10A between each R10A added in the previous step and complete the row by stepping up through the first R10A of this row. Figure 2.

Step 3

Add 2x R10A between each R10A added in the previous step and complete the row by stepping up through the first R10A only of this row. Figure 3. Pull your thread firmly as you work.

Step 4

Pick up 2x R10B and pass your needle through the next R10A added in the previous step. Pick up 2x R10B and pass through the next R10A added in the previous step. Continue adding 2x R10B between each pair of R10A added in the previous step and between the R10A in each pair. Complete the row by stepping up through the first R10B only of this row. Figure 4.

Step 5

Working in ladder stitch, add 4 pairs of R10B to the first pair of R10B added in the previous step. Figure 5a.
 

Pick up 1x R10B and follow the thread path shown in Figure 5b to add the tip to the petal and to get into position to start the next petal.

Step 6

Following the method shown in Figure 5a and Figure 5b, create 5 more petals adding 4 pairs of R10B to each pair of R10B added in step 4 and 1x R10B to the tip of each petal. Figure 6a and 6b.

Step 8

Pick up 1x R10A and pass through the next R10A added in the previous row, through the next R10A added in step 3 and through the next R10A added in the previous row. Continuing in this way, add 3x R10A and complete the row by stepping up through the first R10A of this row. Figure 8.

Step 9

Add 1x R10A between each R10A added in the previous step and complete the row by stepping up through the first R10A of this step. Figure 9a. Tie off and trim both the working thread and tail thread. Figure 9b.

Step 10

Following steps 1 – 9, make a total of 8 flowers.

Step 11

To assemble the necklace

Using the 2 pairs of flat nose pliers, open a jump ring and pass it through an R10B at the tip of one of the petals on a flower and through the corresponding rocaille on another flower before closing the jump ring. Figure 11a.


Using the same method, attach 7 flowers into a row, ensuring that all the flowers have the raised middle at the front and that each flower has 2 petals free either side of the jump ring. Figure 11b.

Step 12

Using the wire cutters, cut the chain into 2x lengths of 12 cm and 1x length of 5 cm.

Step 13

Using the flat nose pliers, open a jump ring and pass it through the R10B at the tip of an end flower and through the link at one end of one of the longer pieces of chain before closing it again. Using another jump ring, attach half of the clasp to the other end of the chain. Figure 13a.

 

Attach the second piece of longer chain to the tip of the flower at the other end of the necklace. Add the remaining half of the clasp to the other end together with the smaller piece of chain. Use the remaining jump ring to attach the final flower to the end of the smaller piece of chain. Figure 13b.
