Here you can find a quick and easy crochet necklace pattern for free that is perfect for the summer.
This crochet necklace is made using T-shirt yarn.
It’s a clever design that uses the height of the stitches to get the crescent shape seen in the crochet necklace.

How to make an easy crochet necklace?
This crochet necklace looks complicated, but I teach this to beginners in a 2 hour workshop.
It uses the basics of crochet that how many times you wrap the yarn around the hook before going through the stitch, the taller the stitches are!
You will need to know how to:
- Chain
- Single crochet
- Half double crochet
- Double crochet
- Treble crochet
- Double treble crochet
Yarn for as Easy Crochet Necklace
This necklace uses T-shirt yarn.
One thing to note with T-shirt yarn is that there are different thicknesses of t-shirts, and these make different thicknesses of T-shirt yarn.
Most T-shirt yarn is made from the off cuts of actual T-shirts being produced, so its important to know which one to get.
I’ve used this yarn from Flying Tiger Copenhagen which is a “thinner” T-Shirt yarn.
But there are others you can use:
This yarn from Etsy looks perfect >>>
Or this Recycled Yarn from Hooked on Lovecrafts>>>
For a project which uses thicker T-shirt yarn check out my Crochet Bike Basket Pattern here
What else you’ll need to crochet a necklace
You’ll need a 10mm hook if using a thinner t-shirt yarn, like above. For a thicker T-shirt yarn, use a bigger hook, a 12mm.
2 colours of T-shirt yarn
Scissors
