Simple Crochet earrings

These earrings are a good way to start creating your own jewelry, even if you are an amateur crocheter. Just follow the instructions and you'll have a pretty looking pair of earrings in under 30 minutes.

 

Skill level: Beginner

 

Techniques required: Chain stitch, double crochet, and slip stitch.

Materials: I have used size 20 cotton crochet thread, and a size 7 (1.5 mm) steel crochet hook. But you can use any crochet thread with a corresponding hook size. Adding a bead is optional. The bead shown in the picture is a size 8 mm bead. Also required are a pair of jump rings and fish hook earring findings.

 

Instructions:

·        Make a slip knot and attach it to your crochet hook.

·        Ch 5, join with a slip stitch to make a round.

·        Chain 2 (this would count as 1 dc), 14 dc in the round, Insert the hook in the bead, wrap the thread around the hook, and pull through, pulling the thread through the bead. Ch 1.

 
·        15 dc in the round (total 30 dc, including starting ch 2). If you are not adding a bead, then make 29 dc in the ring after the starting ch 2. Join with a slip stitch into the 2^nd chain of the beginning ch 2. Fasten off.

·        Weave in the ends. Attach fish hook findings to a jump ring. Attach the jump ring to a dc opposite the bead.

·        Repeat for the second earring.
