Inspired by visits to the Chemistry department at the university where I used to work and the fascinating diagrams on colleagues’ office whiteboards, I created this choker or belt design to appeal to those who love a small relaxing project that is sure to be a conversation starter wherever you wear it. It’s an easy introduction to thread crochet for those who haven’t tried it and feel a little intimidated by small hooks and thin thread.

In this project you work only into chain spaces until each piece is big enough that you can hold it easily and stretch it a little to see the stitches well. By that time, you’ll feel more confident in where to insert the hook.

Crochet jewelry is fun to wear, inexpensive, and can be made to complement all of your outfits. In particular, the cuff is very flexible and can be worn at various points on the arm or leg or as a hair/head accessory if the ties are worked to a suitable length.

Gauge:
4-round Hexagon Motif measures 1.75” from side to side and 2” from point to point.
Joining tab measures just under 0.25”.

The edging is worked in the round. Corner picots are used to join motifs together and to allow for securing the ties.
