Introduction

Welcome to Crochet Diva, where we will be learning how to crochet easy crochet earrings. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to create beautiful earrings using different colors and stitches. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Supplies Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the necessary supplies for this project. You will need:

• Earring wire
• Jump rings
• Beads
• Pliers
• Embroidery thread or 2-weight yarn
• 2mm crochet hook

These supplies can be easily found in any craft store or online. Make sure you have everything ready before we move on to the next step.

Making the Magic Ring

The first step in creating crochet earrings is making a magic ring. If you're unsure about how to make a magic ring, you can check out the link provided in the video description. To start, wrap the yarn around your two fingers and use your crochet hook to pull up a loop from the working end. Twist the loop and proceed with two chains, which will not count as a stitch. Tighten up the magic ring and you're ready to move on.

Creating the Double Crochet Stitch

The double crochet stitch is one of the basic stitches used in crochet. To make a double crochet, yarn over the hook and insert it into the magic circle. Yarn over again and pull up a loop, giving you three loops on the hook. Yarn over once more and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over and pull through the last two loops. This is the technique used to create a double crochet stitch. Mark the first stitch with a stitch marker for easier identification later on.

Round 1: Making the First Round of Double Crochet

In the first round, we will be doing 13 double crochet stitches in the magic circle. Continue making double crochet stitches until you have completed 13 stitches. Pay attention to the speed of your stitching to maintain consistency. Once you have finished, pull the other end of the yarn tightly to make the magic ring tighter. Join the round by making a slip stitch in the first marked stitch. Finish off with a chain one and trim off any excess yarn.

Round 2: Adding Single Crochet Stitches

For round 2, we will be adding single crochet stitches. Start by adding a new yarn color in the fourth stitch. You can use a different shade of pink or any color of your choice. Pull up a loop in the fourth stitch and chain one, followed by a single crochet in the same stitch. Mark the first single crochet with a stitch marker. Continue with another single crochet in the same stitch. Proceed to do two single crochet stitches in the next stitch, and repeat this pattern until you have completed six single crochet stitches. Finish off with a chain one.

Round 3: Creating Chain Spaces

In round 3, we will be creating chain spaces. Start with a single crochet in the first stitch, followed by three chains. Skip two stitches from the previous round and make a single crochet in the third stitch. Repeat this pattern for the next chain spaces, alternating between four chains and five chains. Turn the project over to move on to the next round.

Round 4: Adding Slip Stitches and Picots

In round 4, we will be adding slip stitches and picots. Begin with a slip stitch in the first stitch and continue working in the chain spaces. Add four single crochet stitches in the three-chain space, followed by a slip stitch in the next single crochet from the previous round. Repeat this pattern for the chain spaces, and finish off with a slip stitch in the last single crochet. Trim off any excess yarn.

Finishing Touches

Your crochet earrings are almost complete! Wave in any loose yarn ends and trim off if necessary. Take a moment to admire your beautiful creation. The intricate stitches and carefully selected colors have come together to form a stunning pair of earrings that you can proudly wear or gift to someone special.

Adding Earring Hooks and Beads

To complete the earrings, we will add earring hooks and beads. Open a medium-sized jump ring using pliers and insert the earring hook. Close the jump ring securely. Add beads to the bottom of the earrings by opening another jump ring and threading the bead onto the ring. Close the jump ring tightly. Your earrings are now ready to be worn and admired.
