Crochet Nursing Necklace

I never needed a nursing necklace with my boys, but my baby girl is the most fidgety feeder I have ever seen. She grabs at anything and everything: my shirt, my face, my hair, my skin… it’s driving me nuts! It was time to make a nursing necklace in attempts to distract her little hands.

These necklaces are very easy to put together and not only are they stylish but also functional. They appeal to babies sense of vision and touch and can also be used as teethers (as long as the right materials are used and under constant supervision).

Materials:
You want to try to find non-toxic, natural materials
– Unfinished wooden beads in 3/4 inch and 1 inch sizes.
– Cotton yarn. I used Lily Sugar N Cream yarn.
– Size G Crochet Hook
– Tapestry needle

Pattern for crocheting around the 1″ bead:
Magic Ring, make 8 SC in ring, pull tight but not completely closet, join to first SC and continue to crochet in rounds
Round 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (12 SC)
Round 3-5: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
(at this point pop in your bead)
Round 6: SC decrease, SC in next, repeat around
Round 7: SC decrease to close. If you have trouble making a SC decrease, switch to using your tapestry needle and weave it under the front loops of your stitches (two at a time) as seen in the picture below until closed. Weave in ends.
Pattern for crocheting around the 3/4″ bead:
Magic Ring, make 6 SC in ring, pull tight but not completely closet, join to first SC and continue to crochet in rounds
Round 2: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around (8 SC)
Round 3-5: SC in each stitch around (8 SC)
(at this point pop in your bead)
Round 6: SC decrease until closed. Weave in ends.

This is what the bottom should look like (the part where you make your Magic Ring)
If you have trouble making SC decreases, use your tapestry needle and weave it under the front loops (two at a time) until closed.

I strung my beads on a double strand of yarn, but you can braid your yarn or use ribbon. Make it long enough so it comfortable rests low on your chest.

You may want to make a knot between beads or on either side.

I tied a toggle clasp on the ends of my necklace but this isn’t safe if you are using this as a teether. You can always just leave the necklace extra long and tie it around your neck when you want to wear it. Or leave it tied because it should be long enough to slip over your head.

 I think I might even wear my new necklace as a stylish accessory! Color combination possibilities are endless so you will definitely want to make more than one 🙂

  10. Well, I don't need a nursing necklace, but I can always use a new accessory! This is perfect for either one! I like the way the crocheted pieces are "stuffed" with a wooden bead instead of fiber-fil. Really cute!

  11. I love this Idea!! I feel like we're one in the same at times!! I have a 7 month old daughter and she fidgets too!! I read your interview and love that you learned through youtube as well. I loved crafts, but I never knew I could pick up crocheting so fast. I started off with your patterns and have learned to make various character crochets free hand.

    Thank you for your blog and creative ideas. They've been inspirational.

  19. Thank you for allowing us to use your pattern! I am a new grandmother (Thank you God!) and want to help my daughter out as much as possible to have a good experience nursing. This necklace not only looks lovely but seems perfect for the job. Perhaps she won't need it, but if she does, she will thank you too.

  25. I love this pattern and have tried it out myself, but feel like my beads do not end as well as yours. Are you chaining one stitch when you move to the next row? Just trying to see if I can get it to look more finished like your pictures. Thanks!

  91. ورق سیاه
    علت نامگذاری این ورقه ها به خاطر نحوه ی تولیدشان می باشد قیمت تیرآهن ۲۷ اصفهان که به روش نورد گرم تولید می شوند. این ورق که از جمله معروف-ترین و اصلی ترین ورق های بازار به شمار می رود، به کمک
    شاخصی به نام ST کیفیت سنجی می شود.
    اساس کار شاخص ST بر مبنای تعداد کربنی است که در ساختار ورقه ی آهن به کار رفته است و به طور معمول نامگذاری ورقه-های آهن معمولی بین ST33 تا ST52 می باشد؛ بدین صورت که هر قدر تعداد کربن بیشتر شود، از انعطاف پذیری ورقه ی آهن
    نیز کاسته می شود.از نظر میزان محبوبیت نیز ورقه های ST22 و ST52 بسیار پر کاربرد هستند.
    از نظر به کارگیری ورق سیاه در صنایع مختلف نیز می توان به صنایع زیر اشاره نمود:
    – تانکر سازی
    – خودرو سازی
    – ساختمان سازی
    – کشتی سازی
    – ساخت مخازن خاص
    – لوله سازی
    از نظر تولیدات داخلی نیز کارخانه های زیر قادر به تولید ورق سیاه هستند:
    – فولاد اکسین
    – ورق کاویان
    – نورد لوله اهواز
    – فولاد مبارکه اصفهان (که اصلی ترین تولید کننده ورق سیاه در ایران است)
