EASY
FLORAL SPECTACLE LANYARD
This is a very practical item that can be
blinged and cute-ned up.
One can call this an eye glass lanyard, eye
glass cord or a crochet beaded eye glass chain.
Come along and let’s see what we can do with this cute project today.

project.
Skill level : Easy to intermediate

Stitches used :
Starting slip knot : Here’s how you start with a slip knot. https://youtu.be/lJcqsVcs8cw
Starting slip knot 1 or the Sloppy Slip knot : This is a neat new way to start your work without a slip knot. https://youtu.be/YfC7KmGpifs
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.
Before we head off to making our lanyard, here
are a few ideas.
We start with a little
holder that will attach onto your glass strap , then work the lanyard and
finish with a second holder for the other side of your glasses. We will therefore work in one continuous
row.
You can decide to add beads. If you decide to add beads, please check the
top of this blog for a ‘how to work with beads’.
I worked the basic pattern and then added in
the flowers – which I’ve made separately.
I was lucky to find a really good pattern blog for my flower
motifs.
Check that out at https://picotpals.com/2018/04/24/crochet-nemophila-pattern/
For the basic lanyard, here is what I’ve done
before.
You can either do this, or just
work a full plain chain lanyard and then add the flowers. Go ahead, create and have a fun crochet day.
What is a chain stitch ? Here is an easy video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXx5ukBjKkY
Start by
attaching your hook to the yarn.
Then
work 25 ch.
If
adding beads, add your bead now ;
Turn
and work 25 ch.
This
is basically what you will do.
Work a
chain length, then add the bead, if you are using a bead, and you do this all
the way till the length of your lanyard.
Attach the clip to the other end and neatly weave your ends in.
Play
with the addition of beads and flower motifs to get a cute end result.
