An elegant necklace for any occasion or season. Be prepared to get attention when you wear it and expect to say, “It’s crocheted” repeatedly.

Once you know the crocodile stitch, this goes quickly and you’ll want more than one. Try it in black or red for an evening affair!

The pattern is for size small, but it’s simple to adjust by adding stitches to the cord or by adding scales.

Made with less half a ball Sayonara by Schulana - DK weight, 50g/164 yds, 100% silk ribbon.
Can be made with any DK or sport weight ribbon yarn, preferably not containing animal fleece of any kind. Synthetics would work well here, but because you need so little yarn, this is a good opportunity to find something really special (like silk!)

D - 3.25mm Hook
