Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin with the Daisy Motif

1. Using the black yarn, create a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a strand through the loop to secure it.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to close the ring. Slip stitch (sl st) into the first single crochet to join the round.
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each sc around (you should have 12 sc). Sl st to the first sc to join.
4. Change to deep purple yarn. Round 3: *Ch 5, sl st in the next sc*; repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the first sc to join. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

2. Create the Chain

1. With the neon green yarn, chain 150. This will form the base of your necklace. Make sure to keep your tension even for a smooth chain.
2. Once you have completed the chain, fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

3. Attach Daisies

1. Evenly space the 5 daisy motifs along the neon green chain. You can place them at regular intervals or adjust based on your preference.
2. Using the yarn needle and black yarn, sew each daisy securely to the chain. Make sure to go through the center of each daisy and the chain to ensure they are well-attached.

4. Finishing Touches

1. Weave in all ends using the yarn needle to ensure a clean finish. This will help prevent any unraveling.
2. Block the necklace to shape it. To block, lightly dampen the necklace and lay it flat on a clean surface, shaping it as desired. Allow it to dry completely.
3. If desired, add a clasp to the ends of the chain for easy wear. You can attach the clasp using the long tails left from the chain or sew it on with additional yarn.
