Crochet Cuff and Necklace Vintage Inspired


This week I have been working on these vintage inspired crochet cuff and necklace accessories……. my latest designs …. ‘Celeste’ Necklace and ‘Bibi’ Cuff Bracelet.  As usual I have to give all my designs old fashioned names and I think these suit them really well don’t you think?

So simple really, but so effective and vintage inspired.  I have received so many compliments when wearing them. Mine are both in the cream colour as they coordinate with all my outfits. I thought why not write up the pattern into PDF downloadable pattern for you to make yourself.  Of course they can also be purchased ready made if you would prefer.  You can wear the Celeste Necklace on its own or with the Bibi Cuff Bracelet as a set…… they are so versatile!!!!

Of course I have used vintage shades as that’s just how I role …… but you could experiment with brighter shades and different yarns.

The yarns I chose

I have used Rico Essentials Cotton DK as its a mercerised cotton yarn that has a lovely sheen and it’s so lovely to work with. You can make quite a few items from just one 50gm ball of wool which makes it really cost effective. They make brilliant gift giving ideas too.

Pretty buttons

I’ve added the mother of pearl buttons to give them that vintage feel but you could add any type of button to make it more modern looking.  My daughter loved the necklace but asked me to make it shorter so she can wear it as a choker!  How cool is that ….. and she has gotten lots of compliments when out with her friends ….. so much so that I have 8 chokers to make for them!!!!!! Thankfully they are so quick and easy to make too.

Choosing your favourite colour

My favourite colour at the moment is the rose pink in the cuff…….

and the grey in the necklace ….
