Lilhatshack saw this choker in my album and asked if I had a pattern for it. The choker pictured here was done without a pattern and by the time I got around to writing a pattern, I had forgotten how I had made it. I recreated it as close as possible and wrote a pattern as I was making it, but sent the choker off to be photographed without taking a picture of it myself. So, if you notice some differences between the picture and your finished choker, that's why. OK then, without further ado...This one's for you Carmen.

I think your patterns are great! As for negative comments, my motto is "If it is untrue, unkind, or unnecessary, leave it unsaid!" Keep up the good work. | |

Love all your patterns! Well,....almost. I have to agree with
Rebecca on this one. I thought the
choker was awful. However, I liked
the flower itself, so I made it and used it to trim a hat and matching
handbag. It looked great that way!
Rebecca has her own taste and style
that she likes and she doesn't have
to defend it. I really like this site, Dot! Your patterns are beautiful and
the directions easy to follow. I've
even used some of your patterns to
teach a few of my Girl Scouts to crochet. Thanks! | |

I think it is beautiful! I am thinking of stringing on some beads first so that the flower can have some extra pizzazz. | |

Thanks Vims. It will make a great gift for your students. You could also leave the straps off and add a pin back and they could use it as a pin. | |
