english rose crochet choker PDF pattern perfect for weddings, brides or bridesmaidsAnother new pattern is ready to go! This one is a graceful floral choker. I made the model with an English winter white rose, but you could customize this with any color rose you liked.

Mother of pearl, shell, or vintage gems type buttons would look especially lovely! As usual, you can find this at my Etsy shop :)

Here's an inspiration shot of the gardens I have seen that inspired this choker design. This is at Hever Castle. Lovely, isn't it?


Here's another inspiration photo. Our poor rose tree is on the decline, but I love having roses in the garden. This Huntington rose is one I've been eyeing as a replacement. Old world Rose characteristics (means great smell!) and hardy enough to survive in my garden. So beautiful! I think this would look very nice next to the porch.

That's absolutely beautiful! I can see why it inspired you to make the chokers. That's such a lovely chocker. Really pretty. And it would make a really cute bridesmaid or bridal accessory. For a pretty winter wedding.
