Cowgirl BoHo Crocheted Necklace...

This Cowgirl BoHo Crocheted Necklace turned out so cute....My dear friend Mary loved her birthday gift! Pictures & directions are included below....

 I had seen some crocheted necklaces on Pinterest....Since I know how to crochet and this was a simple chain stitch....I figured this was going be easy and fun! It was.....

 I added the coins as an after thought...so I tied them on individually. Love the look!

 Here is a close up...

 this is the back closer....with a couple of stones slightly dangling down.

 This is the two ends...waiting for the clouser...

And the finishing touch, binding it closed!

Cowgirl BoHo Crochted Necklace

Items needed:

• Crochet thread, #10, brown
• Beading Needle
• Crochet hook, size 2.75 or a little larger
• Assorted beads, about 90-96 small beads, assorted sizes & colors

Directions:

1. Leave about 10 inches of thread, unworked
2. String on the beads using the beading needle
3. Chain 5-6 chains of thread...stop and tie a single knot on the start od the chain, leaving a long (10") tail of thread on the end...
4. On the next chain crochet, include one bead in the chain, chain 3 to 4 more single chains
5. Repeat step #4 until all beads are included in the crocheted chain.
6. After the last bead is included, chain 5-6 chains (see step #3)...
7. Thread the two finished ends through a bead ( I used a flat one) and finish off by tying in a double knot. leave the long strands...next....
8. Double the necklace, making it a two strand necklace. Taking the long, end strands, tie the pieces together, close to the closure/ending. Add a single bead to each ending and tie off in a knot.
9. Trim the extra strands off. Necklace is finished

Note: I added dilled coins to the finished piece, as an after thought....to add a little gypsy look to the piece. I just hand tied these on with simple knots and left a few raw edges of the string, lending a casual boho look.

My dear friend Mary, LOVED her new necklace! Now, I need one!....Off to make another....
