Buckeye Necklace I made this necklace by simply collecting buckeye pods and removing the seeds. We don't have the Ohio Buckeyes around here... I believe the pods I used came from a Mexican Buckeye tree. These trees actually aren't related... but the seeds look similar when removed from the pod. In folklore buckeye seeds are used a magical amulets and good luck charms. All I did was drill a small hole through the seeds and string them onto crotchet thread. I then simply did the chain stitch until the spot where I wanted the first seed to be. (about 40-50 chains) Then I slipped the seed into place and did a chain stitch around the seed and securing it in place. I continued crocheting 15-10 stitches in between seeds and then securing them in place until I had used all the seeds I wanted to use. Then I crochet the other side of the necklace (another 40-50 chains) before fastening off. This is a very adaptable pattern... if you can call it a pattern. I used 5 seeds on this one.....
