Here is the crochet and beading patterns for the 'flower earrings'.
They're very straight forward to make and I've posted both the written and drawn pattern.

Note: I've amended this pattern (2nd November) to American crochet speak rather than my own strange crochet language which was my translation for the Spanish.
It should be much easier now, but please let me know if there are still problems : )

G'day Olivia

WOW! I just love these...must be added to the list of things I must make, thanks so much for the tutorial. Tam xo
ReplyDeleteOh these are adorable! I found this through Whip Up. One quick question, are these American Crochet Terms or UK terms? I always ask if it's nto indicated before I start a project.
ReplyDeleteThan you!
Thanks for your lovely comments : )
ReplyDeleteCrystal that's a really good question and I'm not sure of the answer. My mother in law taught me how to crochet in Spanish and I've only ever read Spanish patterns, so maybe American terms? I'm going to investigate tonight and get back to you/ amend the pattern. Thank you
Olivia
It should be ok now and in American Crochet speak. I'm very new to writing crochet patterns for other people to understand, so if there are still problem please let me know.

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this pattern! Did you stiffen the flowers at all, or just leave them as-is?
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia,
ReplyDeleteAfter many, many, many attempts (I am teaching myself crochet) I seem to have something that resembles your earrings, minus one petal!
I am really enjoying your blog and look forward to learning more from you.
Thanks for sharing your patterns.

Thanks for your lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteTo stiffen the flowers firstly I run a thread around the back and pull it tight.
If it needs more paint a little bit of clear nail polish on the back of the flower.
