BEAUTIFUL CROCHET CHOKER 6
Tiny triangles choker
The jewellery bug still reigns and I’m still
working with new ideas for neck pieces or chokers.
If you’ve been following my blogs, then you will
have paid attention to the title of this blog, you’ll see a nondescript “6”,
which will indicate that this is not the first blog of chokers. If you like what you see here, follow me via
the different social media given at the bottom of this blog, for more of the
same.. and lots of other free crochet stuff.
Welcome back as we work on this new challenge
together.

Instructions using U.S terminology
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern. For your convenience there video tutorials through the blog too
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
For this project we will need
to ‘construct’ a small triangle and for that we will use an array of stitches,
small to big back to small. The different
lengths of the stitches will create the triangle automatically.
If you so desire, we will pop
in a picot at the centre of the triangle.
This is also a space that you can insert a bead if desired, but if you
so decide, please add your beads onto your yarn now. (Please read Note at the
end)
Hooks on.. let’s go.
I like my foundation stitches,
and have opted to start with the foundation double crochet. I urge you to try
this stitch as it really gives a neat finish and in one row, you will have the
dc ‘created’. It’s also a quick small
project for you to try a new stitch.
Foundation double crochet (fdc) : This is a unique way of starting a project directly with a row of double crochet stitches. Here is an easy video tutorial https://youtu.be/hjNUYVvyU9k
Start with fdc in multiples of 6 for the length or round neck
circumference. Turn.
Row 1 : sc in the 1st
fdc ;
(ch 6, sk next 6 fdc, sc in the next fdc) ;
rep (to) till end. Turn.
In the following row, we will
create our triangle, which is the long array of stitches all done in one ch-sp.
Triple Crochet : trc : wrap yarn twice around hook, insert hk into st ; yo (4 lps on hk); [yo, draw through 2 lps] three times. One trc made.

Chainless start for Triple / Treble Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of trc.
Check out the video at https://youtu.be/f42MO0cGYC0
How to work a picot stitch : Traditionally for a ch-3 picot, you work (ch 3, sl-st in 3rd ch from hook). For a ch-5 picot, you will do (ch 5, sl-st in 5th ch from hook).
Here’s a great video https://youtu.be/8s3zVaBcn4s
Row 2 : sc in the 1st
sc ;
(1 sc ; 2 hdc ; 2 dc ; 1 trc ;
1 trc + picot ; 1 trc ; 2 dc ; 2 hdc ;
1 sc all in the next ch-6 sp) ;
*sk next sc, rep (to) once* ;
rep *to* till end ;
sc in the
last sc. Turn.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Note : As I suggested earlier, you can throw in a bead either along
with the picot, or in every alternate picot (i.e one triangle has a picot, the
next one had a bead); or you can just add beads in the place of a picot all
along.
Either way you are going to have a stunning choker.
