I love to do simple, but chic crochet jewelry. If you’ve seen my Etsy shop(shameless plug), you’re aware of that. Well, I do want to share some of my knowledge with the rest of you and have a simple pattern for my color blocking necklace crochet necklace:
Color block necklace
Hook: 5 mm (H)
Yarn: Pictured, Pattons Silk Bamboo (pink) and Fantasy Naturale (blue)
(Sport, worsted or Aran yarn works [3-4 weight])
Gauge is not important for this pattern. But you can adjust Ch stitches to desired length.
The whole shebang
With MC chain 180 st
Sl st into first ch st to make a loop
Continue chaining for another 180 st
Make between 4-6 chained looped being sure to sl st for each one
weave in ends
With CC 9-11 st (the number is dependent on the “girth” of your necklaces)
For the back “closure” strip
SC 3 rows
For the side strip
SC 11 rows
To sew color blocking strips to necklace, wrap the strip around the entire “girth” of necklaces and sew the ends closed. While you are sewing them closed, be sure to put the needle through several chained stitched each time to ensure the strip stays in place. Weave in ends.
Hope you have fun with this and rock the sidewalk runway!

i like this a lot. I have also popped over to your Etsy shop and like the bits on there too – especially the pink necklace and infinity scarf. Great stuff!
