Victoria Necklace

“VICTORIA NECKLACE” – CROCHET PATTERN BY  HILARIA FINA

INSPIRATION + DESIGN

The Victorian era in UK´s history matches with the peak of the Industrial Revolution and the British Empire. In those times people was used to make their clothes ordering them made to measure with tailors, or doing them by themselves if they had not enough resources.  The Victorian era also refers the period of Queen Victoria’s reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. Ideologically, the Victorian era witnessed resistance to the rationalism towards romanticism and mysticism with regard to religion, social values, and arts.

CROCHETING INTO THE BACK BUMP OF A CHAIN

FINISHING AND DETAILS

• You can use cord as necklace closure, a ribbon or any other material you may like. Use rings to pass the ribbon.
• Use studs or beads to give an especial touch to the necklace. Or make rows in different colors in order to create a multicolor design.
• Optional – Blocking

The blocking technique is a finish step for some crochet items or pieces. After washing or wetting the piece, you achieve final item’s proper shape by gently stretching or pinning it. Once the piece is dry it will remain in that shape. You could do blocking by ironing the item or you can use stiffening solution to make item stiff or more structured.  I never use stiffer, due that raw material will loose its touch and natural texture. Hand feel is for me an essential part of  the final product beauty. 

You should follow the following steps when you just wish to water block the item (and not to starch it). 

1. If you need to wash the item,  do it hand wash,  using cold water and a bit of soap (to dry it off you must not wring the item, use a towel to remove water out)
2. If you need no wash, you can can simply use a water spray to dampen it.
3. Once is wet, spread the item with the right side up on a flat surface where you can pin (cork, wood, padded surface..), and let it naturally dry.
