Orange Blossom Bead Crochet Necklace

Orange Blossom Crocheted Necklace by Diane Reda is an intermediate bead crochet jewellery project with a bright summer feel. Finished at 18″ [46cm], the necklace uses white and orange seed beads, leaf beads, orange flower beads, S-Lon cord, sterling silver chain, crimps, jump rings and a clasp. The project introduces beading with a basic crochet chain stitch, making it approachable for makers ready to try combining crochet and jewellery techniques. Makers will practise stringing beads in sequence, crocheting beads into sections, controlling cord tension, securing the crocheted strand, tightening the work if needed, attaching chain ends and finishing with a clasp.
