My Creative Space - pretty necklaces with trim


With a few upcoming markets I thought I'd make some pretty little things for gifts for little girls. 
Using trims - lace and fringing. I had some short snake chains and with a tiny crochet hook and embroidery yarn, I crocheted around the chain and through the trim.

 

A few tricks - don't crochet too tight or it won't sit flat as you can see in the picture - I have had to unpick it and start again!

    1. Thanks! I enjoy making them - now I've worked out how to make them sit correctly. They are like little added collars for little girls.
