They were both delighted with the finished results and I’m happy to say that the bags, necklaces and bracelets have been in constant use ever since.
Below is the pattern for the necklace and the bracelet. The ad-free, printer friendly, full pattern, including the crochet pattern for the shoulder bag, is available through Etsy or Ravelry. What colour will you choose for your child?
PATTERN FOR NECKLACE/BRACELET
Materials
- You can use any cotton DK or light weight yarn, just check the length of the initial starting chain otherwise the finished item may end up bigger or smaller than desired. I have used the following cotton yarn:
- Rico Design Ricorumi DK in Light Blue (033) or Vanilla (005) 25g (yarn A)
- Rico Design Ricorumi DK in Rose (008) 25g (yarn B)
- 3.5mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- One button 2 cm in diameter for the necklace
- One button 2 cm in diameter for the bracelet
Notes
- I have used US crochet stitch terms for this post. Check out Tutorials & Guides in the main menu for a US to UK stitch conversion guide. The PDF version has both US and UK instructions.
- The necklace, and bracelet are worked in rows, turning at the end of each row.
- The flower is worked in continuous (spiral) rounds, with right side facing at all times. Do not turn or join at end of each round unless instructed.
Bracelet or necklace (Make 1)
The below sizing was made as a bracelet for an 8-year-old. Use the same instructions for the necklace, making a longer starting chain to begin with. Make the starting chain length longer or shorter to fit your child’s (or your own) wrist or neck. As a guide, I started with 63 chain for a necklace for my 8-year-old (including the additional 5 ch for the button).
With yarn A, 28 ch (or an even number of chains to loose-fit wrist or neck), plus an additional 5 ch (for the button). (33)
Row 1. Skip 2 ch (count as 1 sc), 1 sc in each ch to end, turn. (32)
Row 2. 1 ch (counts as 1 sc), skip 1 st, *1 sc into BL of next st, 1 sc into FL of next st; rep from * to end, ending 1 sc into top of tch, turn. (32)
Row 3. 1 ch (counts as 1 sc), skip 1 st, 1 sc into BL of next st, 3 ch, skip 3 sts, *1 sc into BL of next st, 1 sc into FL of next st; rep from * to end, ending 1 sc into top of tch, turn. (32)

Row 4-5. 1 ch (counts as 1 sc), skip 1 st, *1 sc into BL of next st, 1 sc into FL of next st; rep from * to end, ending 1 sc into top of tch, turn. (32)

Flower (Make 1)
Work in continuous (spiral) rounds
With yarn B, 2 ch. (2)
Round 1. Work 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. (6 sts, do not include the 1st ch in the stitch count)

Round 2. *Sl st into FL of next sc, 3 ch, sl st into FL of same sc; rep from * 5 times (6 petals)

Round 3. *Sl st into BL of next sc from round 1 (behind the petal from round 2), 2 ch, 2 dc into BL of same sc from round 1, 2 ch, sl st into BL of same sc from round 1; rep from * 5 times (6 petals)
Fasten off, and leave long end to attach flower

Assembly
1. Sew the button to the end of the bracelet that does not have the buttonhole
