Would You Wear This ‘Necklace’?

June 20, 2014 by jd wolfe

cro floral necklace 0614

My friend, Sweet Sheri, sent me a link to this pattern, calling it a summer scarf rather than the ‘Floral Necklace’ that Red Heart identifies it as on their free pattern site.

It’s not something I would wear for a number of reasons – mainly that I have no neck.  Age and nature have deprived me of what little length of neck I once had.  This brought to mind my question for you.  Would you wear this?  If so, when – on what occasion or with what garment(s)?

While I find it attractive, I think it’s entirely impractical.  Maybe I’m being a curmudgeon.  What do you say??  Please post a Yea of Nay in the Comments section below.  If a Yea – how and when would you see yourself (or someone else you’d make it for) wear it?

    Nay. Looks like something made to go with a costume.

    Yea , why not? I find it very chic an would wear it as a “summer scarf” on a warm summer evening. Perhaps not in pink, but in blue or green.

    No, not my style. BUT with a bit of tweaking… I think just one of those big rounders. They were correct to have an odd number according to art lessons. So which one? The one at the top? or one on the hanging bits?

    Sorry, too much of everything. It’s obviously something designed as a reach.

    I made it, in those colours, and posted the final article on Ravelry. It’s basically what I wear instead of a scarf.

    I think it’s cute! I’d probably do it up in a navy or red and then pair it with a white t-shirt and blue jeans with some cute espradilles.

    I plan to make it for my granddaughters. They are 6 and 4 years old.

    I would. And I am NOT a scarf wearer. How Do I explain under a collar, not tied, Have color put into it… It is Pretty!

    Nay! Too cluttered.

  12. G J Amber says

    Nay. It is lovely but I would not be comfortable wearing it.

    I guess I am a curmudgen too, because uh uh no way I would wear that.

    It is waaaaay to busy for me, so I showed my daughters who are 29,35 and 38 and they all said the same, way tooo much for them, but my daughter with a 5 year old said maybe she would wear it for a fun accessory.

  15. Bonnie Jean says

    Um, No. I do not like to be the center of attention and I feel that this necklace, that is almost gaudy, would stick out like a sore thumb on me. I am not 100% sure that the model shown is happy about wearing it either. 🙂

    It isn’t something I would wear.
    I do wear scarves but in the
    summer they tend to be of the fabric
    type.

  17. Carolyn Geoffrey says

    No, I would never wear a scarf such as this. To me, it looks like an overdone curtain tie back..LOL

  18. Christena says

    June 21, 2014 at 10:48 am

    No, too busy for me. It looks like it would just be in the way every time I moved. I think there are too many shapes/objects going on there. The ends do look like they would make a nice cat toy.

  19. Toni says

    Love it. I can also see my two granddaughters wearing the scarf/necklace.

  20. Jo says

    June 22, 2014 at 10:22 am

  21. Susan says

    June 22, 2014 at 1:44 pm

  22. Dianna says

    June 22, 2014 at 1:46 pm

  24. Tina says

    June 22, 2014 at 2:59 pm

  25. Mary says

    June 22, 2014 at 5:28 pm

  26. Jacqueline Steffen says

    June 22, 2014 at 9:41 pm

    Nay… Overdone. Impractical. Strangler….
    However, elements of it could be used on their own..

  27. germaine says

    June 23, 2014 at 6:16 pm

  28. Ann says

    June 26, 2014 at 4:39 pm

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
