A crochet choker is one of the fastest wearable projects you can finish, most take under an hour and use only a few grams of thread. These six range from a 15-minute basic band to an ornate vintage lace piece, so the real choice is how much texture and detail you want to spend time on.
Choker patterns to explore
1. Easy Crochet Choker
Alysha Littlejohn says this one takes under 20 minutes and is beginner-friendly and customizable. You can use Aunt Lydia’s size 3 thread on a 2.25 mm hook, or worsted weight yarn on a 3.5 mm hook, with optional beads, and there is a video. The thicker yarn gives you a quick result if you do not want to work in fine thread.
2. Crochet Choker
Jennifer Hines made this choker because chokers were back in style and she used to own dozens as a child. It is in Aunt Lydia’s size 10 thread in black on a 1.15 mm hook, chain 72 to start, with a lobster clasp, jump rings and jewelry chain, which you string on before you begin. She links to her tutorial on crocheting with beads, because the technique is the same.
3. Choker Necklace
Always A Frayed’s choker is rated Intermediate on Ribblr, free as an ePattern with US/UK terms and row by row tracking. 535 crafters have saved it, and it uses shell stitches in thin thread, so it is a lacier look than a plain chain choker.
4. Lisette Crochet Lace Choker
Kristin Omdahl designed the Lisette in Be So Fine, a bamboo fingering yarn, as a lace choker in a trend she says is hot right now. It is a good one if you would like a soft bamboo yarn, not stiff cotton thread.
5. “Princess” Crochet Choker Necklace
Alysha says a small amount of thin yarn can become a stunning showpiece, and that it looks complicated but most of it is made from simple stitches. It layers picots over a base of single crochet, and comes with a video tutorial with timestamps at the end of each row. The thicker size 3 thread works up fast, and an ad-free PDF is sold.
6. Antique Lace Wedding Choker
Kirsten Holloway’s antique lace choker is for a bride: small flowers and a pink ribbon on a lace band. It takes 25 yards of Aunt Lydia’s size 10 thread on a 1.5 mm hook (1.4 mm for the rosette and leaves), plus ribbon, brass jump rings, a lobster clasp and fine chain, and needle-nose pliers. It uses surface slip stitching, picots and shells, so it is the most advanced of the six.
