Crochet necklace #1

This is necklace #1 because I can tell that I’m going to make many more of these!  It’s a quick project with instant gratification.  This is my first effort, so I’m sure that I’ll be able to refine things a little as I go along.

The pattern for the necklace is here, and the pattern for the flower here.  I used some Cleckheaton Bamboo that was left over from another project, with a bamboo hook.  I don’t think that I’ll use bamboo hooks with bamboo yarn in the future – it seemed to grab a little. 

The back has a very simple button closure.  Well, now I’m off to crochet some more of these (although I should be sewing up that top from a few posts ago – it’s finally cut out and ready to assemble).
