Crochet Choker

Crochet Choker by Sam Hermes

What is Being Made

This is a crocheted choker necklace designed by Sam Hermes. Unlike traditional necklaces, this choker pattern creates a distinctive piece of wearable jewellery that works up remarkably quickly. The designer notes that once you master the basic technique, you can easily create multiple chokers to gift to friends and family, or produce them for sale (with proper designer credit).

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The pattern uses fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The stitches employed in this design include:

• Chain stitch (ch) – the foundational stitch used to create the base structure
• Slip stitch (Sl st) – used to join rounds and create seamless transitions
• Back loop only (Blo) – a technique that works through only the back loop of stitches to create texture and structure

The pattern uses UK crochet terminology. Tension consistency is noted as helpful for achieving uniform results, though exact tension specifications are not critical for this project's success.

Materials and Tools Required

This choker pattern is designed to work with super chunky yarn weight materials, offering versatility in fibre choices. Suitable materials include:

• Super chunky yarns
• Cotton cords (such as Bobbiny 5mm cotton cord)
• T-shirt yarns (such as Hoooked zpagetti)

You will need a 10mm crochet hook and scissors to complete the project.

Difficulty Level

This pattern is rated as beginner-friendly, making it an excellent introduction to jewellery-making through crochet. The quick working time and simple stitch combinations mean new crocheters can achieve professional-looking results with minimal experience.
