Necklace

I got the idea for this gorgeous necklace over at one of my favorite crochet/knitting blogs creative yarn http://creativeyarn.blogspot.com     and was going to make it as she did at first until I found this beautful crochet thread at wal-mart! It's cream white with gold wrapped around it :)
I just basically used her pattern, but instead of a 4mm hook used a 2mm one and basically doubled the amount of chains, also added a button in the back to make it cute. So here's what I did and thanks to the creative yarn blogger for this idea!!

Materials:
2mm crochet hook
crochet thread (I got my metallic thread at walmart)

Chain 154
Single crochet in the 2nd chain from hook and next 3 stitches
Chain 160
Single crochet in first 4 chains of previous chain to attach the two
Chain 168
Single crochet in 4 stitches of previous single crochets
Here, I crocheted the two parts together and put my button there, or you can actually crochet the button on one side and make a buttonhole on the side you finished on by chaining 3 or more depending on the size of your button and clip stitch in to the 4th single crochet in the previous row.
I made the flower myself by using the same hook:
Chain 5, join with a slip stitch.
Chain 4, join into first chain with a slip stitch , repeat in each chain around.
Chain 6, join in same stitch as previous petal with slip stitch
Repeat all around, fasten off.
