How to Crochet a Pair of Round Crochet Earrings

Crocheting earrings can be a fun and creative way to showcase your crochet skills. This tutorial will guide you through the process of making a pair of round crochet earrings. With just a few materials and some basic crochet stitches, you can create a beautiful and unique accessory. So let's get started!

Materials Needed

To make the round crochet earrings, you will need the following materials:

• Crochet hook (1.0 millimeter)
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker
• Beads
• Eye pins
• Earring hooks
• Pliers
• Size 10 crochet thread

Step 1: Making a Magic Ring

To start making the earrings, begin by making a magic ring. This technique allows you to create a tight and secure center for your project. Wrap the crochet thread around your finger, insert the hook into the loop, and pull up a loop. Then, chain three to serve as the first double crochet.

Step 2: Double Crochets in the Magic Circle

Next, make nine double crochets in the magic circle. Yarn over the hook, insert it into the magic circle, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over once more and pull through the last two loops. Repeat this process until you have a total of nine double crochets in the magic circle.

Step 3: Joining the First Round

To join the first round, tighten the magic circle and join it to the third chain of the initial three chains you made. Use a slip stitch to secure the join. This will create a closed ring for your earrings.

Step 4: Starting the Second Round

Start the second round by chaining six. The first three chains will count as a double crochet. Then, add three more chains. This will serve as the beginning of the next round. If desired, mark the third chain with a stitch marker to easily identify where to join the round later.

Step 5: Making Petals

To create the petals of the earrings, make a double crochet in the next stitch after the chain. Then, chain three and make another double crochet in the same stitch. Repeat this pattern of double crochet and three chains until you reach the last stitch of the round.

Step 6: Repeating the Pattern for All Petals

Continue repeating the pattern of double crochet and three chains for each petal. Each round should have a total of ten petals. Ensure you join each round in the third chain you marked earlier.

Step 7: Joining the Third Round

When you reach the end of the third round, join it by making a slip stitch in the first single crochet stitch. This will close the round. Fasten off and cut the yarn, then weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.

Blocking and Shaping the Project

To give the earrings a polished and professional look, block and shape them. If you have spray starch, spray it on the project and pin it onto a blocking board. Leave it to dry overnight. If spray starch is not available, you can use water instead.

Adding Earring Hooks and Beads

Once the earrings are dry, use pliers to add earring hooks and beads. Open a jump ring using the pliers and insert it into the hole of an eye pin. Place the jump ring in the middle of a petal and close it. Repeat this process for each petal. Finally, attach the eye pins to the earring hooks using jump rings.
