Step-by-Step Crochet Earrings Pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

Materials Needed

Before starting, gather the following materials:

• Embroidery floss (two skeins, one for each earring)
• 2mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Needle (for weaving in ends)
• Jump rings
• Ear wires
• Pliers (for attaching jump rings and ear wires)

Step 1: Create a Starting Loop and First Round

1. Form a loop and chain 3 stitches.
2. Join the first stitch to form a circular base.
3. Begin shaping by chaining 3 (counted as the first double crochet).
   Save
4. Work into the center: Add 1 double crochet, chain 2, then add 2 more double crochets.
5. This forms the base of the triangular earring.

Step 2: Continue Building the Earring Shape (Multiple Rounds)

• Round 2:
  • Chain 3 (first stitch). Add 1 double crochet in the next stitch.
  • Work into the chain 2 space: Add 2 double crochets, chain 2, and 2 more double crochets.
  • Add 1 double crochet in each of the next two stitches to create symmetry.
• Round 3 to Round 6:
  • Repeat the same pattern by building rows with double crochets, regularly increasing in the chain 2 spaces in the center. Each round increases the stitches on each side of the triangle.
    Save
  • Work towards clean, pointed edges to keep the triangular shape in place.

Step 3: Frame the Earring with Single Crochet

1. After completing the final round, chain 1, turn the work, and add a single crochet to every stitch.
2. Add two single crochets in each chain 2 space to provide even framing and firmness to the edges.
3. On the triangular edges, use your judgment to add 1 or 2 single crochets per space, ensuring the edges aren’t too tight or bunched up.
   Save

Step 4: Add a Peacoat Stitch at the Top

1. In the starting chain 3 space, form a peacoat stitch by chaining 3 and slip stitching into the base of the chain.
2. Add 2 more single crochets in the same space for a balanced look.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

1. Attach the ear wire:
   • Use the jump ring and pliers to connect the ear wire to the top peacoat stitch of the earring.
2. Weave in and trim loose ends using a needle.

Tutor’s Suggestions

1. Use glue and water or stiffening hairspray to stiffen the earrings so they maintain their shape and avoid curling at the edges.
2. If using glue, apply a thin coat with a brush and let it dry flat. Hairspray is faster and less messy for stiffening.
3. Prioritize evenly spaced single crochet stitches to maintain the intended triangular shape of the earring.
