Chandelier Choker

This choker was inspired by a chandelier I saw on Pinterest.

This tatting projects uses a combination of rings, split rings, rings with beads, and the josephine chain.  This was my first time tatting a ring with a bead in the center so I'm still learning how to perfect doing it.

Step 1: Supplies

Size 10 crochet thread: I used Antique White
Size 5 tatting needle
Beads: approximately 13
Pliers
Piece of standard thread
Collapsable Eye Needle
Cross Stitch Needle: optional
Iron
Spray Starch

For Closing either...
extra piece of crochet thread and Fray Check
four jump rings and two lobster clasps

Beautiful. I don't know how to tat but I think I can make a reasonable facsimile without the tatting.

[Penolopy Bulnick]

Thanks and I would love to see what you come up with! I've been planning a tatting Instructable where I talk about the basics and different things I've picked up if you change your mind and decide to learn :)

[paqrat]

I would like to know when it appears. I may not try it but I enjoy reading about how others excercise their creativity. I may try it too. Years ago my mother taught me how to knit. She tried to teach me how to crochet but I only got as far as a chain stitch. If there is anything much more useless than just knowing the chain stitch I don't know what it is. ;) I have seen articles where people have crocheted with wire. I wonder if it would be possible to tat with wire.

[Penolopy Bulnick]

I've seen people ta around wire, but I'm not sure if you can tat with wire. I think it would definitely be something worth experimenting with!
I learned to knit from my mom when I was younger. I tried to teach myself to crochet and it took quite a while and many tantrums before I finally got something to work and actually look like the pictures. I find videos to be very helpful when it comes to crocheting :)

Very pretty! Thanks for showing us the inspiration photo too- I like seeing the design resemblance.

The fine detail is lovely.

That's really pretty, but don't the dangling bits tickle as you move?

[Penolopy Bulnick]

I didn't think about that. They don't for me. But, I like chokers and dangly earrings that touch my shoulders so I don't really feel that type of thing. I would say no, because it is made of crochet thread and touch you so lightly, and they don't really swing around since it's tight on your neck (like, when I turn my head, it doesn't really move). And thank you :)
