Pattern notes:  

The pendant consists of two parts, front and back. Crochet them separately and then connect them with single crochet stitches. Also crochet a tunnel on the pendant through which you can pull a crocheted chain, metal chain or a leather cord.
Make sure you are familiar with the special stitches (front post and puff stitches) before you begin.
I recommend learning how to crochet standing stitches and how to join with an invisible join. When you change color you start the new round with a standing stitch.
Close the rounds with a slip stitch. Use invisible join on the last round.
This pattern includes a chart. Start each round at the number of the round. The diagram can be helpful in figuring out where to place the stitches in the rounds.
Thread tension is not important for this project. Crochet tight for a better result.
