Crocheted Choker

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably already know this.  But I LOVE costume jewellery and accessories!!!  If I’m not wearing a brightly-coloured brooch, a string of beads or a set of bracelets when I go out, I feel like I’m not properly dressed.  So, I’m always on the look-out for interesting accessories that I could make, to add to my collection. 
   
And here’s my latest effort – a crocheted choker.....






I found the pattern on Ravelry, here.  It wasn’t too tricky, and didn’t take me too long.  I love the colours, and think it’s really cute and unusual.  The only problem is, it’s a bit TOO choker-ish around my neck.  If I make another (which I’m sure I will), I’ll have to make it a little longer.  And I’m hoping I’ll be able to stretch this one a bit.  I don’t think the choker’s going to enhance my outfit at all if my face is turning blue when I’m wearing it!  ;-)

If you know of any cute (but reasonably quick and simple) accessory or jewellery tutorials out there in blogland, please do share.....

Have a great week!

  1. This is so sweet.
    My cat once had a pretty crocheted flower collar, It was so cute. Wasn't very practical and quickly became dirty and frayed. I think I bought it in the Monsoon sale for £2.

  2. Very cute...the Mollie Makes free gift was similar, perhaps safer as a brooch but beware the pin, jewellery can be so dangerous! Eco Ethel xx
