These crochet adorned necklaces were probably my favorite gift I made this past holiday season.
They were my favorite largely due to the fact that they were made from crochet cotton once owned by sweet Grandma Maria (a wonderful woman and adopted grandma from our NYC days who lost her battle with cancer). I knew my four BFF’s from NYC would appreciate the sentiment in the gift since she was their Grandma Maria too.
Basic (not perfect) Steps. Hopefully it’ll at least get you started. Play as you go along!
Supplies: #10 crochet cotton, size 7 crochet hook, open loop chain. clasps, jewelry pliers.
Bow – chain for about 5″. Follow with 3 rows of single crochet. Finish off. Fold piece into bow shape, wrapping middle with crochet cotton. Attach to chain at points using pliers to open and close links.
Bird – For this pattern, you’re going to have to pick up the book Crochet Adorned by Linda Permann (it’ll be totally worth it). Attach the bird to your chain with jump rings.
Scallops – Make 3-4 single crochets into 9 adjoining links at the center of your necklace (you basically are trying to fill each link with stitches). Turn. Slip stitch into all the stitches in the first link and halfway into the stitches in link 2. (Chain 5. Single crochet into the next link) 3 times. Turn. Single crochet across, filling each scallop with stitches (about 5 stitches each). Turn. Slip stitch into the first 3 stitches. (Chain 5. Single crochet into the next scallop.) 2 times. Turn. Single crochet across, filling each scallop with stitches (about 5 stitches each). Turn. Slip stitch into the first 3 stitches. Chain 5. Single crochet into the next scallop. Turn. Single crochet across, filling the last scallop with stitches (about 6 stitches each). Finish off.
Covered Chain – Starting at one end, single crochet into the top of the first link 4-5 times until it the link is 1/2 “filled” filled across the top. Continue onto the top of the adjoining link, single crochet into the top of the second link 4-5 times until it is filled across the top with stitches. Continue onto the top of the next link and all the adjoining links until they are all filled with single crochet stitches along the top of the chain. On the last link, single crochet around the entire link, turning the chain so the empty “bottom” of the chain is now at the top. Single crochet along each link, filling the empty 1/2 until you get back to the beginning.
All necklaces: Add clasps to make the necklace the desired length.

In reality, I don’t recommend online only life support classes at all.
But there are also many programs available online
for cheap or for free. The Self- paced courses for home use are the
AHA CPR and Infant Anytime Personal Learning Programs.

Many people bear the impression that BLS is as good as medical treatment
provided by the health care experts. The AED pads that are applied to the victim’s chest, while CPR is in progress, can also assess and determine the victim’s heart (cardiac)
rhythm.
I think that what you said made a great deal of sense.
However, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier title?
I ain’t suggesting your content isn’t good., however what if
you added a post title that makes people desire more? I mean Making

You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how
they write post titles to grab viewers interested.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about
what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could make
your posts a little livelier.
