Crochet Flower Lanyard Tutorial

Through a series of simple steps, we will guide you on how to craft an eye-catching lanyard adorned with crochet flowers. This pattern involves creating individual flowers, joining them together into a lanyard, and adding a neatly crocheted border for a polished finish.

Suitable for intermediate crocheters or ambitious beginners eager to expand their skills, this tutorial promises a unique accessory that's not only a joy to make but also a charming addition to your collection or a thoughtful handmade gift.

Center of Flowers

Start with white yarn and make a magic ring.
Chain 1 and add six single crochets into the center of the ring.
After the last single crochet, pull the ring closed.
Slip stitch to the first single crochet to end the round.
Cut and sew in your ends.

Petals

Choose your petal colors (the example alternates green and amber).
Tie yarn onto any stitch of the six base stitches.
Chain 6.
Slip stitch into the same stitch you started to form the first petal.
Slip stitch into the next stitch, chain 6 again, and slip stitch into the same stitch. This is the second petal.
Repeat the process (slip stitch, chain 6, slip stitch in same stitch) for each of the six stitches to create a total of six petals.
After the last petal, slip stitch into the first stitch to end the row.
Cut and sew in ends.
Repeat the process to make a total of 23 flowers.

Joining Flowers

Place two flowers right sides together.
Cut a strand of yarn in your chosen color for joining (brown is used in the example).

Use a darning or tapestry needle to join the flowers:

Sew through the top stitch of the corresponding petals to connect them.
Tie a double knot to secure.
Work your way up the back of the flower in a U shape to hide the yarn.
Join the top stitches of the next two petals similarly.
Ensure not to pull too tight.
Continue joining flowers in a single line, leaving the left and right petals free—join, free, join, free pattern.

Border

Using the same color yarn (brown in the example) and same-sized hook:
Chain 7.
Starting in the second chain from the hook, add one single crochet.
In the next stitch, go through the top of the flower's bottom petal, and then complete the single crochet.
Add single crochets in the following two stitches.
Repeat joining single crochets to petals.
To work up the side, chain 4 and slip stitch in the top of each petal—chain 6 between each slip stitch.
After covering one side, chain 5.
Work on the opposite end, slip stitch in the top of the first petal, chain 2, and slip stitch in the bottom of the next petal.
Chain 5 and repeat the side pattern from step 7 on the other side.
Chain 4 and slip stitch into the first stitch to complete the border.
Cut and sew in ends.

Join Lanyard

Ensure no twists in the lanyard and place both right sides facing up.
Tie yarn onto the right-hand corner.
Single crochet along the flat edge, joining both ends together.
Chain 1, turn, and attach a D-ring with single crochets going around the D-ring.
Continue until the end of the row, tie off, and sew in the end.

Attach Keychain

Use a strong jump ring and a lanyard keychain (with pliers for assistance).
Feed the lanyard onto the jump ring along with the D-ring and close the jump ring.

The lanyard should now be completed. Give the lanyard a final check to make sure everything is secure, making any adjustments as necessary. Enjoy your handmade crochet flower lanyard!
