How To Crochet Flower Earrings
I end up taking my jewellery a lot these days, because I am regularly rolling around on the floor at jujitsu where any kind of bling would be a massive liability for me and my training partners. Which means that when I do go to the effort of putting in earrings, I want them to say something. And today, I decided I wanted them to show off my love for crochet with these flower earrings!
This pattern uses some more basic crochet stitches, however the size of the hook relative to the yarn is in my experience I little tricker to handle. If you are a newer crocheter and struggle with using a fine 2.5mm crochet hook with DK yarn for this, you’ll be absolutely fine sizing up to a 3.5mm or 4mm crochet and using the same size of yarn. Your earrings will be bigger and a little heavier, but they’ll still look awesome. I know, because I made them this size first and decided I wanted them smaller, but the larger ones still look fine really!

cc to white yarn
Round 2
Make 4dc and slip stitch into each stitch in the round.
At the end of the round, sew your loose ends very securely into the back of the flower. Remember that earrings twist, so making sure they are tight and neat is really important for this project.
Attaching the Earrings
Take a strand of the white yarn and attach a yarn needle. Ideally choose one fine enough to fit through the fixing at the base of your earring, but if you can’t do that just remove the needle, insert the yarn then reattach it when you need to.
Insert your needle at the top of one of the petals, then through the earring, then
