Antique Wedding Set Choker Necklace

"Learn how to crochet an easy antique style lace choker with this gorgeous wedding pattern. Small flowers, and a pretty ribbon add vintage charm to this necklace. This free pattern includes instructions for making a child’s size choker that flower-girls can wear. Use different hues to match the bride's colors! If you don’t want to put jewelry fittings together, you can use a longer ribbon and tie it at the back of the neck instead."

NotesThis choker should shrink up when you add the surface slip stitching details in the last step. Don't be alarmed if the choker is a little longer than the finished measurements when you first begin the pattern. My surface slip stitches were somewhat tight. If you crochet very loosely you may want to use the 1.4mm hook for this step instead. The average adult woman's neck is 13 1/2" in circumference, so you will want to have your choker measure less than that when you are done. The jewelry fittings will add some extra length.
