I still have a lot of this amazing Nako’s Val yarn and was really into playing with it -rather than make a constructive project - like a sweater for example, but no, I had to make a necklace.

This particular piece is gorgeous in reality (forgot to wake up my modesty today - sorry about that!), and I am really pissed off with the camera for not being into it as much as I am.

It is easy to make it, so if you like it, here’s the pattern:

With desired yarn and adequate hook (I used 3mm and DK yarn) chain as many as you want the ties to be long. The pattern is for the necklace you see in the pictures, but you can customize it.

Note that the whole piece is made (as a whole) in 2 turns.

Start necklace tie: chain 60. Next curling.
First curl: ch15 and in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in each st.

Second curl: ch17 and in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in each st.

Third curl onwards: increase 2-3 stitches (or more) with each curl until you reach the longest you’d like to have. The curls in the center of my necklace are 30-32 stitches. After you reach the desired peak, start decreasing the curls’ stitches.

When done curling, chain 60 for the other tie and join with the beginning.
Next, sc across in every stitch across the whole necklace. Finish it off.

Round corals

Coral 1:
Ch 5 and join to make a ring.
Rnd 1: sc5 in ring.
Rnd 2: sc2 in each st (10)
Rnd 3: sc1, sc2 in each st. (15)
Rnd 4: repeat rnd 3

Coral 2:

Ch 5 and join to make a ring.
Rnd 1: sc5 in ring.
Rnd 2: sc2 in each st (10)
Rnd 3: rep rnd 2 (20)
Rnd 4: sc1
(Rnd 5: sc1, sc2 in each st.(30)

Play with the number of stitches to make different sizes of these. Make as many as you like and arrange them around the curls and ties. Pin and sew them together.
I used different seed / cylinder beads to give the corals a bit of glam. Have fun!
