- Crocheting back into your chains again in the opposite direction, work 1 SC in 1st ch (same st as last st), 1 HDC in next st, 1 DC in next st, 1 HDC in next st, 1 SC in last st
- I made 2 leaves and glued them to the ring base, then I glued on the rose. Here are a few pics. I am very proud of how it turned out. I have already gotten a lot of positive comments and compliments on my earrings from the people I meet on the street.
Materials:
hoop earrings (mine were 6 cm in diameter)
adjustable ring base with the flat top
light green, dark green, white, yellow, pink, purple, auburn, blue, orange embroidery yarn
1.30 mm crochet hook
scissors, needle
liquid silicone
Steps and Procedure:
Hoop:
- Using the light green yarn make a slip stitch around the hoop and crochet 70 SC around the hoop
- use a dab of glue to secure the ends
Flowers:
Small Roses:
- ch 7
(1 sl st, 1 SC, 1 sl st) in 2nd chain

"10 minute" crochet earrings
This is the easiest crochet earrings project. It really takes no longer than 10 min. The only thing you need crocheted is a simple circle. Your imagination is the limit after that - what beads to add, what colors to use. Here is the pattern:
Materials:
yarn of your choice (I chose red yarn)
2.00 mm crochet hook
scissors, needle
jewelry making materials (clasps, eye ball pins, jump rings, nose pliers, earring hooks)
Step and Procedure:
- crocheting a circle:
1. Make a magic circle and make 6 SC inside the circle
2. Make 2 SC (INCREASE) in each stitch around (12 SC)
3. Make a 1 SC in 1st stitch and 2 SC (INCREASE) in the 2nd stitch (repeat around) (18 SC)
- In order for the circle to be more even and less hexagonal from this point I changed the order of INC vs SC
4. Make an INC in the 1st stitch and 1 SC in the 2nd and 3rd stitch - ( INC-SC-SC - repeat around) (24 SC)
5. Make a SC in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd stitch - (SC-SC-SC-INC - repeat around) (30 SC)
- And you are done with the circle part of an earring (you can make your earring even bigger just continue with the INC patterns)
- assembling the earring:
- Take a jump ring and put it through the top of the circle you just made
- Take an eye ball pin and put it through the beads. Using the nose pliers make a loop at the top of the eye ball pin
- Put the bottom of the eye ball pin (with the beads) through the jump ring (on top of the circle)
- Open another jump ring and put it through the top of the eye ball pin (with the beads), and put an earring hook through the same jump ring (see the pics for visual explanation)
Materials:
yarn of your choice (I chose red yarn)
2.00 mm crochet hook
scissors, needle
jewelry making materials (clasps, eye ball pins, jump rings, nose pliers, earring hooks)

- In order for the circle to be more even and less hexagonal from this point I changed the order of INC vs SC
4. Make an INC in the 1st stitch and 1 SC in the 2nd and 3rd stitch - ( INC-SC-SC - repeat around) (24 SC)
5. Make a SC in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd stitch - (SC-SC-SC-INC - repeat around) (30 SC)
- And you are done with the circle part of an earring (you can make your earring even bigger just continue with the INC patterns)
- assembling the earring:
- Take a jump ring and put it through the top of the circle you just made

1.75 mm crochet hook
scissors, needle
1 lobster clasp, 2 eye pins, 2 cord end caps

quick Beaded bracelet
This is the easiest crochet beaded bracelet to make. It literally took me 20 min, so it is perfect for a quick gift or if you just want to make yourself a summery bracelet. You could make it as a wrap on bracelet, but they tend to get tangled, so put the clasps on. I might try to make a necklace, all you have to do is make a longer chain. So here it is....
Materials:
yarn of your choice
1.75 mm crochet hook
44 beads
scissors, needle, flat chord crimp end clasps, barrel claps
Steps and Procedure:
1.String on all 44 beads
2. Make a slip knot, and ch 3, * slide a bead on and ch 4 * repeat (*sliding a bead and ch 4*) - 44 times
3. After you run out of beads - ch 3 and slip stitch to the 1st chain made to make a circle.
- Now, you can leave it as it is and just wrap it around your wrist 4 times, but I have decided to double it and put the "flat chord crimp end clasps" at both ends and attach the barrel claps to open and close the bracelet.

"balls and beads" earrings
I have purchased a few sets of materials used by the jewelry makers and wanted to incorporate them with my crochet jewelry. It is amazing what accessories and beads you can incorporate into your earrings once you start using these items. So, here is the 1st set of earrings I made using the jewelry making materials....
Materials:
yarn of your choice
1.75 mm crochet hook
scissors
jewelry making materials (eye pins, bead caps, jump rings, lobster clasps, nose pliers, side cutter, scissors)
beads of your choice
Steps and procedure:
I used this video as a reference and as an idea, Check it out.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SginfCLZ9gk
1. using 1.75 mm crochet hook make a magic ring
2. inside the magic ring make 6 SC, close the ring
3. make 2 SC into each stitch - increase (12 SC)
4. Make 1 SC into each stitch (12 SC)
5. Make 1 SC into each stitch (12 SC)
- stuff the ball with the stuffing material
6. Crochet 2SCtog (decrease) (6 SC)
- cut the string off and using the needle, sew in the hole
- Now it is up to you how you want to decorate your earrings, but you should invest in the jewelry making materials in order to make it look professional and neat.
- This is what I did: Put the eye pin through the crocheted ball you just made - you can use the bead cap/beads on the bottom/top of your crocheted ball if you desire. Once you have your desired design, you should use the nose pliers to make a loop at the top of your earring. Use the same nose pliers to open the jump ring and put them through the loop you just made on the top of the eye pin. Before closing the jump ring put on the earring hook and close the jump ring with the nose pliers. (Check out the video posted on the top for reference. Thank you Annoo Crochet Designs)

Wolf Earrings
I have had a request to make some earrins for my crochet craft fair. I have many earrings that are just some decorative jewelry, but I wanted to make some earrings that were somehow a representation of my school. So, I decided to make wolf earrings (since my school's mascot is a wolf). These earrings are a smaller version of the wolf emblem I have made to decorate my other school affiliated items (hats/scarves/watter bottles/mug cozies.....). I have made them as small as I could - 4 cm long and 4 cm wide. Super cute and easy to make. So, here it is - the pattern.....
Materials:
2.5 mm crochet hook
Grey, white, black yarn
needle and thread
black thin fabric for the back of the earring
Procedure:
- using a 2.5 mm crochet hook and a grey yarn
- ch 2
R1 - make 2 SC in the first chain, ch 1 and turn (2 SC)
R2, 3 - make 1 SC in each stitch (2 SC total) for 2 rows, ch 1 and turn
R4 - make 2 SC in each stitch (4 SC), ch 1 and turn
R5 - make 1 SC in each stitch (4 SC), c
- SC around the edges. When you get back to the top right corner, ch 4, SC in the 2nd ctitch, HDC in the next and DC in the last stitch. Skip 2 stitches and join with the slip stitch. Slip stitch in the next stitche and ch 4, SC in the 2nd ctitch, HDC in the next and DC in the last stitch to make the second ear, Slip stitch to the left corner and fasten off.
- using the white yarn
- Attach the white yarn right where you left off (under the left ear). Ch 2, DC, (in the same 1st stitch), HDC in the next stitch, SC, slip stitch to join (in the 3rd stitch), fasten off. Do the same thing on the other side but work the stitches in the backwards order (sliop stitch, ch 1 and SC - HDC - Dc, ch 2), slip stitch and fasten off.
- using the black yarn and the tapesty needle embroider the eyes, nose and the white on the ears.
- I have also used a thin fabric and have sewn it onto the back of the earrings for a cleaner look. I have also added the earring wire for dangle earrings and have sewed the wolf earring to it.
And here is my finished product.....

Crochet Earrings and Bracelet Set
Now that my crocheting skills are more advanced, after nearly a year of crocheting (sporadically), I am pleased to say that I can now move on to the "bigger and better" crocheting projects. One of the tutorials that recently caught my eye is this one from Oana's crochet channel. She made these lovely crocheted jewelry and I simply could not pass the opportunity to try it out.
Simple to follow and super easy to make:) Thank you Oana!

I made some black and white earrings and a set of purple and white earrings and a bracelet. Check it out. I am rather proud of myself how it turned out:)

Crochet Earrings Galore
In my effort to get better at crocheting I branched out into making jewelry earrings. I can honestly say that the making crocheted jewelry is very satisfying. These are small projects that you can complete in 30 min or less. I found these tutorials very easy to follow and super quick to complete! Yay! :)
I have used the 4.00 mm crochet hook for all of these, and a medium worsted yarn. I am sure that if you use a smaller hook they would look even nicer, but I just don't have any smaller than 4.00 :(
(Note to self: Must acquire a smaller crochet hook!)

Crochet Flower Bracelet
I was always mesmerized by the hand made jewelry and always wished that there were more craft supply stores in my town. So, in the absence of the craft store one must be creative. So there I was putting apart some of my old bracelets and earrings for colorful beads and decorations. Oh, what a site that was, like a kid in a candy store:)
Now that I have put apart the old bracelets all I needed was to make the new ones, right.... And I did indeed!

Crochet Kaldred Bracelet
For my new crocheted bracelet pattern I chose this Kaldred Bracelet. I found the free tutorial and the
pattern on this website:
www.fourth-edition.co.uk/?p=3447
The instructions are in English and Danish, and the terminology used is in the UK and the US terms, so it will fit everyone's needs. I used a bit thicker yarn and a 4.00 mm crochet hook. It will look totally different if you use a thinner yarn, but I think it looks great this way too. This is how mine turned out:

Crochet Beaded Bracelet
This is one of the prettiest crochet bracelet patterns I found on line. It involves using beads, so again, I smashed one of my old beaded bracelets and scavenged for pretty beads with the words: "Precious, My Precious" resonating in my mind.....
The pattern calls for a leather strap, but I had some other form of ribbon and I used it - amazing!
I made two one beige and one white, both decorated with the blue beads:)
The pattern is fome "Crochetology by Fatima" and I loooooove it!:) Thank you Fatima!

Crochet Flower Chain Necklace
For my first necklace project I have chosen this easy chain necklace. The hardest thing about it was making a flower, and that only took about 10-15 min. I have chosen to make this double petal flower, and have put a bead in the middle. It seems like the bead I put was a bit heavy, although it looks great in the middle of that flower. When I make the next flower chain necklace I will "ix nay" on the "heavy bead-ay".......
The pattern for both the necklace and the flower is here:

"Broomstick Lace Stitch" Crocheted Bracelet
This next bracelet project I decided to do was a bit challenging. It took me about an hour of "hard manual labor" to complete this one. Being a beginner crocheter I have to admit that this was a bit more on a difficult side.
For this project I used the 4.00 mm hook, light worsted yard and a 10.00 mm knitting needle. Yes, you read it correctly, a knitting needle - the bigger, the better! You need this needle in order to make the lovely loops that are shown in this bracelet. I could have used a bigger one if I had one. I'll definitely be making this bracelet again, and although it seems challenging - do not give up. It is worth it! Next time, I'll use a bigger needle and a different, more prominent color of yarn. It is worth the effort! I also put three buttons and join the two sides together.

Peacock Eye Necklace
This is the second necklace I made. This one was a bit more challenging, although the pattern is pretty easy to follow and simple to complete. The challenging bit was creating and embroidering the 24 "peacock eyes" and putting them into the necklace. I used the 2.50 mm crochet hook and a medium worsted yarn. It turned out wonderfully. This will make a great birthday gift for my best friend's birthday coming up. I will add the earrings with the same/similar pattern to go along. Stay tuned for that post.....

Thank you Christa Veenstra, the designer of The CurioCraftsRoom! I have used her pattern before when I made the Peacock Eye Necklace. Awesome creations and designs!
These earrings are made to go with the necklace, but do not necessarily have to. The pattern does not call for the embroidered lines in the middle, but I have put them there to match the necklace. I thought that the finished project looked lovely. See for yourselves!.....

Crochet Flower Jewelry Revisited
I have recently revisited the crochet Flower Earrings I found on the Happiness Crafty. Thank you Eftychia for the awesome pattern!
happinesscrafty.blogspot.ba/2014/09/crochet-flower-earrings-free-pattern.html
I have decided to revisit the pattern and make a new set of earrings. I have already made a set and have posted it on this blog. This time, I decided to use the smaller crochet hook (2.50 mm) and they turned out significantly smaller (no surprise there!). I like smaller earrings. I think I will be revisiting all of the earrings patterns I have posted on this blog and will use the smaller crochet instead of the 4.00 mm which I usually use for majority of my projects.
The bigger earrings you see here are done with the 4.00 mm crochet hook, and the smaller ones are done with the 2.50 mm and my recent completed project....
