ONLINE CROCHET PATTERN: A quick to work up earring pattern constructed by crocheting around a wood ring.


SKILL LEVEL: Moderate.


HOOK: 2mm (or hook size that achieves correct gauge).


YARN: Approximately 20-30 yards of fingering weight yarn.


GAUGE: The puff stitch center circle should fit snugly within the center of the wood ring (a conventional gauge swatch is not required).


EXTRAS:

  • Scissors

  • Stitch markers

  • Tapestry needle.

PATTERN NOTES

  • If you would like your project to turn out the correct size, always achieve gauge before beginning.

  • Double check your stitch counts at the end of each row or round

  • Size instructions are represented in brackets in the following format Small (Medium, Large).

  • If the number comes before the abbreviation for example: 2hdc, this means stitch the given number into the same stitch. If the number is given afterward, for example: hdc2, this means to half double crochet the given number over subsequent stitches.

  • All photos shown are of a size large (adult)

  • The gauge and measurements for this pattern are in a worsted weight yarn, but the yarn weight can easily be substituted for an Aran, bulky, or super bulky weight (with hook size appropriate to weight). Simply Continue the row 5 & 6 repeat until your desired size is reached.


  • Wood rings can easily be purchased in craft stores, Amazon, or made on a lathe.

  • Optionally a tassel maker may be used to cut fringe to length more quickly and easily.

  • Leftover luxury hand-dyed yarns are perfect for this project (silk, alpaca, bamboo). Yarns with good drape are best suited for the earrings if adding fringe.

  • The final size of the earrings measures 3.2cm/ 1.25” in width by 9cm / 3.5” in height (not including the earring hook).
