Ribbon Flower
Necklace
To Crochet
Ribbon is exciting to look at and
wonderfully textured to the touch. Why
not learn some new ways to add it to
your crochet projects? This beaded ribbon
necklace is one of 11 tantalizing designs
in Lisa Gentry’s new book, Teach Yourself
Crochet Ribbon Accents. Because you
can use all kinds of ribbons, the design
possibilities are endless. Have fun!
Ribbon Flower Necklace is from the Leisure Arts publication, Teach Yourself Crochet Ribbon
Accents (#4456). In this book, Lisa Gentry also shares 10 additional ways to have fun adding
beautiful ribbon accents to your crocheted fashions: a mesh hat with flower edging; a scarf
that is a lattice of flowers; a pillow with stripes of ribbon ruffles; a purse accented with
loopy ribbon ruffles; a blanket of square motifs with ruffled ribbon borders; a lacy openwork
triangular shawl with allover ribbon flowers; a bolero with ruffled ribbon edging; a child’s
sleeveless dress with ribbon ruffles; a lacy shell with a yoke of ribbon flowers; and a longsleeved wrap sweater with ribbon flowers along the front opening. You’ll learn how to work
with ribbon yarns as well as woven ribbons of all kinds. Ask for Teach Yourself Crochet Ribbon
Accents at your local shop or find it online at LeisureArts.com.

RIBBON FLOWER
To insert the hook through the ribbon at the same
distance without measuring each time, push the loop
on the hook about 13/4" (4.5 cm) from the tip (near
the center of the finger hold). Using this as a guide,
insert the hook through the center of the ribbon at this
length (Figs. 1a & b).
