Hemp with Turquoise Pendant Cross Neclace

Super easy crochet pattern. An ideal gift item or if you’re making merchandise for craft fairs. In my other incarnation I am a full time jewelry designer and owner of BonnieAngela Jewelry and Accessories. I began designing hemp jewelry in our jewelry business to fill a void in the marketplace. We have many popular designs that are difficult for me to keep up with in finished production so I have added them as patterns to our pattern design business.

I enjoy working with hemp! It has a wonderful versatility, wearability, and is very transitional for jewelry. it can be surprisingly very elegant or very casual. Unfortunately genuine turquoise isn’t a viable choice because the hemp requries a larger bead hole than than is practical for genuine stones but I’ve found many lovely acrylics and glass pieces of simulated turquoise that work exceptionally well.

The crochet is simple and straight forward. This pattern employs only basic chains with Trc clusters.

Mostly they are fun to make and fun to wear! We’ll have many more designs in this line coming so please visit our store to see our updates.
