MOON AND STAR NECKLACE

This is larger version of a necklace that was requested to be included with a plush that I am making for a friend. Unfortunately, the necklace for the plush must be really small. I have found that the easiest way to make the smaller version is to make a larger version so that I can shrink it down. When I made that determination, my 14-year-old daughter said that she wanted the larger version. The inspiration was the necklace below. The Size 7 crochet hook is used to make the STAR. B crochet hook is used to make the MOON and CHAIN.
