Louet Eglantine & Pivoine Accessory Crochet Pattern

Louet Eglantine & Pivoine Crochet Accessory Pattern

What Is Being Made

This downloadable crochet pattern includes two elegant necklace designs: Eglantine and Pivoine. Both pieces are fine accessory projects crafted from Euroflax 100% wet spun linen yarn. The Eglantine necklace features a textured main body with decorative embellishments, while the Pivoine design showcases delicate crocheted flowers attached to a coordinating cord. These designs are ideal for creating lightweight, breathable accessories suitable for warm weather wear.

Techniques Used

The Eglantine & Pivoine patterns employ fundamental crochet construction methods appropriate for creating structured yet flexible accessories. The Eglantine necklace is crocheted entirely in slip stitch, a technique that creates a dense, rope-like fabric perfect for necklace bases. Contrasting decorative clusters are either crocheted directly onto the main piece or can be sewn on as larger beads to the tops of triangular elements. The Pivoine design uses a modular approach, with individual crocheted flowers constructed separately and then attached to a crocheted foundation cord. This method allows for flexibility in design customization and ease of assembly.

Stitches Used

• Single Crochet (sc) – A fundamental stitch where the hook is inserted into a stitch, yarn is drawn through, and then pulled through both loops on the hook in a single motion
• Chain (ch) – The foundation stitch used to create base stitches and increase stitch count
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – Used extensively in the Eglantine design to create the main necklace body; this stitch joins rounds and creates a compact fabric
• Decrease 2 (Dec 2) – A shaping technique that reduces stitch count by combining two stitches into one

Materials & Yarn Specifications

The Eglantine & Pivoine patterns are designed specifically for Louet Euroflax 100% wet spun linen yarn in Fine/Sport weight. Each 100-gram skein yields 270 yards (246 meters) of yarn. The Eglantine necklace requires two skeins total—one in the main color and one in a contrasting color—while the Pivoine design uses a single skein. The pattern is shown in color #35 Mustard for reference. Wet spun linen provides excellent drape, breathability, and a subtle sheen, making it an ideal choice for summer necklace accessories.

Tools & Notions

• 3.0 mm crochet hook – Used for finer sections or tighter gauge work
• 3.5 mm crochet hook – Primary hook size for constructing the main necklace elements and flower petals
• 100 small beads – Optional embellishments for the Eglantine design, sewn or crocheted onto the triangular clusters

Pattern Notes

Gauge is not critical for these accessory patterns, making them forgiving projects suitable for crocheters of varying skill levels. The pattern includes detailed step-by-step visual instructions for foundational techniques, including how to form a ring from a foundation chain and proper yarn-over and loop management for each stitch type.
