Soft and Sweet Crochet Choker

For this project I used Paintbox DK yarn in Candy Floss Pink and a size D (US) crochet hook.
US Terminology is used in below.


Round 1  -  Chain 89, turn
Round 2  -  Double Crochet in 4th chain from hook (counts as 1 DC), DC in next  86 chains
Round 3  -  Chain 1 and SC in first 6 DC, Chain 1, skip one space and DC, Chain 1 and skip one space *(DC, chain 1 in every other DC ) until last DC then chain 5, (you should have 40 chain 1 spaces);  Join 5 chains into Last DC of Round 2 then turn work and SC 5 in chain 5 space.
Round 4  - SC in first chain 1 space then repeat to end of row: *  [HDC, DC, TC, TC) then in next chain 1 space (TC, TC, DC, HDC), then in next chain 1 space (SC)], 6 SC then fasten off leaving enough yarn to sew in large button on  left side (side without the loop, be sure to center).   Finish piece is approximately 18" in circumference.
