Crochet Magnetic flower Pendent

Crochet Magnetic Flower Pendent Necklace

This great idea came to me after doing a project for my three year old. You might have seen it, it is also here on my Blog, its the Magnetic crochet fishing game. I took that idea and made a magnetic necklace to hold my dull ended yarn needles and safety pens (which I use as stitch markers).

The Flower Pattern
Came across this beautiful flower pattern on Ravelry and decided to give my idea a try. This is a great pattern with written instructions and a video! How nice is that?!  www.bhookedcrochet.com/crochet-flower-pattern/

My Magnets

I found my magnets over at Home Depot, yay! They came in a pack of three, they are small and round and look like a washer.
IMPORTANT: These are strong magnets so please don't use as a necklace if you have a pacemaker. Instead try making into a bracelet :)

Here is a link to my new how to and crocheting a magnetic bracelet.

Things I did differently

This is a really easy concept, once you have it down you can switch your pattern and making other flowers. Most crochet flowers either start with a chain and sl st to make a loop or the good old magic loop which I use on everything, We will be skipping over making a loop (you have a magnet loop) and going right to how many SC are suppose to be in loop.

For this pattern: Round 1: connect yarn and SC 7 around your magnet and join with a Sl st

After completing my flower I crochet a small circle (to cover up the back and help the flower keep its shape. I strung my cord between a pedal and just stitched my circle and flower together. Nice and simple.

My Cord

I used a small bit of cord I had and decided to make a sliding knot necklace. No metal for my magnet to get stuck to. Here is a link to a short YouTube video on how to do those knots.

Keep In Mind

Keep in mind that if you put too many Sc around your magnet it will no longer hold your needles and things.

Now my needles and things wont get lost!

Crochet Magnet Heart Needle Keeper Necklace

A few months back I got a custom order in my Etsy store for a different magnet necklace. Together my customer and I came up with the idea of a heart necklace for one of her close friends and a few hours later I had completed her request. \

The heart pattern I found over on Ravelry for free. I made two hearts, one around the magnet and the other is the backing. I also improvised an edging for my two hearts in black. I went out and bought faux leather cording to make the necklace and other necklaces in the future.

This is an easy concept and you can really create any necklace you want. Be creative and make what you love.

Crochet Magnetic Fishing Game Set

Magnetic Fishing Game

We are going on a road trip, an eight hour road trip with our three and a half year old. I am honestly a little terrified, so way in advance I started looking for things I could sew or crochet to help keep her busy. I came across this pattern on Ravelry.

Things I did differently

This is a great pattern. I used an F hook and skipped the tail.

Tail

I used this small heart pattern, found on Pintrest. I made two of them and stitched them together, half way, almost to the bottom point of the hearts. Then I place the hearts onto my fish with a heart bottom on either side and stitched it onto my fish.

Fishing Pole

Came across this magic wand pattern on Ravelry and loved that it was made around a chop stick (I used a wooden dowel, it was longer). I figured it could easily be used as a fishing pole and much better then a stick and string.

Note: Working on the handle, I stopped at row 17 (right before my three rounds of sl st) and stuffed and inserted my stick. The next rows are a little bit smaller so I figured it would be easier to do this step now. Ok, all I did was take some poly-fill and wrap a small elastic around the bottom to hold the stuffing and wrapped it nice and tight and put another rubberband on that end. This easily slid into my wand end.

Dont forget to attach your fishing string into your end before closing

String and magnet

I picked up my magnets from Home Depot, they look just like washers (a little thicker) and come in a pack of three! yay! I SC around my magnet, just be sure that you don't put too many SC around it or your magnet wont pick up the fish. I did another round of SC then did a round of decreases and did a nice long chain all the way up.

I plan on making a few of these adorable sets and selling them on my etsy page. Hop over there and check it out.

Here is my daughter testing them out for the first time. She had a lot of fun with it. I hope she spends a lot of time playing with it in the car.

Thanks for looking everyone and enjoy!
