Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Steel crochet hook size 0
  • Master Wire Sculptor Wire, 28-gauge round dead-soft gold-filled wire, 1 oz.
  • Gold hook clasp
  • Wire cutters
  1. Step 1

    Set up the first row: chain 4, skip one, and chain one in the next three chains and turn. Insert the hook in the next stitch for Row 1.

  2. Step 2

    Begin Row 1 by picking up the next three loops until there are four loops on the hook. Do not turn. Yarn-over and pull through two loops three times. Do not turn.

  3. Step 3

    Start Row 2 by inserting the hook into the vertical wire created by the last row, three times. Note that this includes the last loop. There are now four loops on the hook. Yarn-over and pull through two loops three times. Do not turn.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat row 2 until the necklace measures 18 inches. Fasten off.

  5. Step 5

    Use the crochet hook to pull out the loops on both edges. Roll the necklace gently with a rolling pin.

  6. Step 6

    Sew on the hook clasp with tails of the wire on each end. Weave in the ends of the wire and fasten off.
