Crochet Pattern: Wire Ball Pendant
By Candace – 8 Comments| Wire crochet is a technique that allows you to explore the more sculptural side of crochet. This simple pendant pattern gives novice wire crocheters an idea of the combination of strength and flexibility found in a metal fabric. The finished pendant would go well with a simple wire and bead chain. |  |

How do I make a hdc. I know I have seen it before but need a refresher Thanks
Yarn over , in other words bring yarn around from back of the hook to the front of the hook, then go into the stitch , yarn over again, come back through the stitch, them yarn over again and bring back in through all loops on the hook. Of course in this case it is wire not yarn.

My mom had a necklace similar to this wire pendant years ago. Her’s was stuffed with cotton and you put a couple of drops of your favorite perfume on the cotton. The scent stayed longer than putting it on skin or clothing. Just a thought.
Thanks for all the great ideas, patterns and stories.
The perfume is a cool idea!
I may just have to do that!
That is really cool! Thank you for sharing your creativity!
will have to try it very interesting. love all your ideas takes me back some year when my MOM did all these things.
