This flower didn't quite work as expected, but I prefer the way it turned out in the end. It, in theory, should have been much flatter - but I tend to work my crochet quite tight so in the end it became quite 3D.
I prefer the fact the petals stand up from each other it makes the whole flower much more real.
The flower itself reminds me of a poinsettia, which is very much a Christmas flower in the UK (perhaps the rest of the world too??).
The dark red and pink thread also helps with the Christmas theme. Again, this is no 80 crochet thread.
The necklace "chain" is made with crochet over 2 strands of padding cord & I finished off the necklace with an iridescent flower button for the closure.
