Crochet Choker Necklace

Today I wanted you tell you more about my crochet choker necklaces.

I got excited about crocheting last Summer. It seemed to come to me naturally after my Interior Design school ended. I found it so relaxing and even fun. My first crochet projects were bag handles and hearts.

I start to spend more and more time to learn new techniques. I´m not professional as a crocheting but I´ve always enjoyed crafts, learning new and doing things with my hands. 

I would love to show you my first butterfly that I made but apparently my cats has
destroyed them while ago so here´s couple butterflies that my grandma has made

I remember that my grandmother, who passed away two years ago was crocheting too. I remember that she has crocheted doilies and little butterflies for charity. She taught me to crochet little butterfly too when I admired them on her refrigerator door and asked if they were hard to make. When I came home, I search for yarn so I can make butterflies too. I got my first crochet hook from my mom and suitable yarn too. I made couple butterflies as fridge magnet but my first cat liked to stole them and play with them. My cat liked more of my grandmother´s butterflies than mine so I´m happy that I still got couple left that my grandma has made. It´s kind of bonus that you can make by accidentally easily cat toys. 😂

My version of crochet butterfly nowadays

Everything started when I found flower pendants and though what am I going to do with them. I looked my shop to see what kind of necklaces I already have and wondered how I going to use these flower cabochons. 

My problem solved when I was internship place beginning of this year and when I told co-worker that I make jewelry on my free time, she offered me her old jewelry parts what she has kept in her drawers couple decade. In home I curiously explore what treasures was inside the bag and found pendant settings. I tried on my flower cabochons and they were perfect match. My vision was to make a necklace from them but I wasn´t sure what kind necklace that would be.

One day I was sitting in my desk and suddenly my mind came idea of choker necklace. I wanted it to simple, not too wide and still beautiful like a lace. I found instructions which was easy to follow so I made my first crochet choker necklace. I attached my flower pendant into necklace and it was perfect new necklace to my shop. 

This kind of necklace adds modern
bohemian look into any outfit

I´m not actually choker necklace person but this is surprisingly comfortable to wear. 

Everyday is little bit different, some day specific jewelry feels uncomfortable and other day you wonder why I haven´t wear this. This happens me all the time mainly with clothes! So that´s why I have added in my choker necklace short extension chain so you have little space to adjust the necklace as you want.  

Some might think that white is too delicate color that gets dirty easily by make-up etc. I´ve solved that problem too since I can make this in other colors too. I got total 8 different colors where you can choose from and of course I can also get to specific color if you like. The yarn what I´m using is 100 % cotton. 

If you are interest about my choker necklaces, I have them in my shop: BlueBellJewelry.etsy.com and I can also customize this for you at no additional cost.

I hope you enjoyed to read my blog text and feel free to leave comment. I would love to hear what you think about and happily answer any question you have.

Have a beautiful day!
