Crochet Flower Earrings


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.

To make the Crochet Flower

Materials
Cotton thread. I use DMC (in varying colours) but I'm not sure what thickness? like these.
1mm hook

Pattern
Ch6, join to make circle.
Round 1: Ch 2 (first hdc), 23hdc around in circle, join to first hdc.
Round 2: Ch2 (first hdc), {skip 2hdc & hdc in 3rd hdc from hook, ch4. hdc in same hdc} Repeat 6 more times. Skip 2 hdc & hdc in 3rd hdc from hook, ch4. Join to top of first hdc.
Round 3: {6hdc in ch 4, sc between two hdc} repeat 7 more times. Join and sew in end to finish.


To make Flower Earrings

Materials
  • Two ear hook
  • 6 lengths of 2x3mm chain, each 2 links long.
  • 2 x Crochet Flowers
  • 4 wire rings (to join chain to crochet flower)
  • 2 x head pins + extra for connecting beads
  • 2 x feature beads
  • 6 x small metal beads
  • 2 x large metal beads
Connect all as described in the diagram below.




I hope you enjoy

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 : )

Oh 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.

Than you!

Thanks for your lovely comments : )
Crystal 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
