I just love the look of those bib necklaces that went mainstream last year. But I couldn’t imagine myself actually wearing one of those gem-laden beauties–I’m more of a t-shirt and sneakers kind of gal.

So I made myself something that has a similar look; something that makes a statement but can still be worn as an everyday addition to outfits.

Notes: The length of the necklace reaches mid-chest for adults. If you wish to lengthen or shorten it, accordingly increase or decrease the starting chain–the foundation chains needed for the bib necklace is 31 chain stitches. When making the foundation stitches, it is recommended to crochet into the back ridge of the chain to make the project look balanced, and make it easier to work stitches in.
