Peony Necklace by Maya Kuzman
What is Being Made
The Peony Necklace is a crocheted bib-style necklace designed by Maya Kuzman. This wearable jewelry piece features a floral composition measuring 20 cm across at its widest point and 9 cm at its longest. The necklace is composed of three peonies, one rose, three rose buds, and two types of leaves arranged to create an elegant statement piece. The finished necklace is fastened with a metal chain and lobster clasp, making it a complete ready-to-wear accessory.
Techniques Used
This intermediate-level crochet project employs fundamental crochet construction techniques to build dimensional floral elements. The pattern uses layering techniques to create the full, multi-petaled appearance characteristic of peonies and roses. Flowers are constructed in rounds, building from a foundation chain to create increasing layers of petals. The design allows for customization and experimentation, enabling crafters to adjust the number of flowers and leaves to suit their preferences. Assembly techniques include weaving in ends with a tapestry needle and sewing components together with a sewing needle and thread to attach flowers and leaves to the metal chain base.
Stitches Used
The Peony Necklace pattern utilizes a range of essential crochet stitches in American terminology:
- Chain (ch) – used for foundation rows and chain spaces
- Chain space (ch-space) – creates openings within the pattern structure
- Skip (sk) – allows for shaping and stitch placement
- Slip stitch (sl st) – joins rounds and connects components
- Single crochet (sc) – provides tight, dense stitching
- Half double crochet (hdc) – offers medium height and drape
- Double crochet (dc) – creates taller stitches for petal definition
- Treble (tr) – produces the tallest stitches for dimensional petal shaping
Materials and Tools
This project is designed to use leftover yarn, making it an economical choice for stash busting. DK yarn in any brand of your choice is used for the three peonies, while sport yarn is used for all other flowers (the rose and rose buds) and leaves. Both yarn weights are worked with a 3mm crochet hook (UK size 11 / US size 10/3). Additional materials include a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends, a sewing needle and matching thread for assembly, a metal chain measuring 15–20 cm in length, a lobster clasp for closure, and two jump rings for hardware attachment. The combination of these materials creates a professional, wearable finished piece.
