How To Do It
Begin the foundation
First crochet the flower pieces. Each flower is worked to a full petal shape with a neat center.
Main Section Working
Make as many flowers as you’d like for the front of the choker. Keep them the same size so your finished project looks balanced.
Change The Size
When the flower section looks right, add chain length or tie sections to each side. Try it on your neck as you go and trim it short if necessary.
Join or Form
Join the flowers neatly so they lie flat. Make sure the middle section is level and not at a twist.
Edge finishing
Weave in your ends carefully and smooth the flowers with your fingers so the choker sits well when worn.
Tips and Tricks
- If you want the flowers to line up, use stitch markers.

Ideas for Customisation
Experiment with pastels, bright colours or a simple, plain neutral. You may want to add more flowers, make the ties longer, add a bow finish or include beads if that suits your style.
