Do you ever see a shirt or skirt that you appreciate for fashion’s sake but can’t see wearing yourself? That is how I felt when I got this picture sent to me.
Crocheted Bib Necklace
Ridiculously cute. Love the ruffles, love the use of the underused treble crochet stitch, love the layers and volume. But is it wearable?
The pattern is from the fashion blog The Owls Are Not What They Seem. The pattern and necklace styling are both featured in this post. And here is the Ravelry page.
I happened to pull the student who sent the link to me in The Sweatshop of Love’s Secret Santa, so I didn’t have to think very long about what I was going to make her.
Ruffles!
Modifications: I added one extra row of double crocheting to the second tier of ruffles and two extra rows of double crocheting to the third, or smallest, tier of ruffles.
I attached each tier to the base of the double crochet tier before it, so the smallest, or bottom most tier, sticks out farther than the previous tiers.
I then made a crocheted chain instead of attaching a necklace chain. I couldn’t find one, I don’t even really know how you would do that!
Well Look At That!
It was a super quick project. I finished it during the Thursday night NBC comedy block! I used some yarn I had laying around; a tiny portion of a Caron one pounder.
Umm... HOT!
I’m totally in love with this necklace! Even over my pajama wife beater it looks great!
Under a Jacket... HOT!
Clearly I need to clean the mirror in my foyer, but everything I was doing with the necklace made me like it more.
Mine!
I think I’m going to have to make another one as my Secret Santa gift!

wow, it’s very cute, especially under the jacket!! I know what you mean about it not necessarily being your thing, I don’t think I could pull that one off, but I know plenty of girls who could!! It does look good on you.

i crocheted one necklace on my own. then i found that if some beads are added, it would be more elegant. i made one accroding to a necklace here: http://www.jewelryvogue.com/store/necklaces/fashion-acrylic-scarf-necklace, it works!! you can also have a try, necklace will be classy!
