FLOWER INSPIRED EARRINGS || Needleworkmonday Tutorial

Last time, I challenged again myself to make my first-ever pattern for my newly designed crochet blouse or top.

And guess what?

I started it already. 😁 But don't congratulate me now, it's too early to say that. Because I am just able to finish up to the 15th layer of the front area of the body part of my top.😅

I am having doubt if I was making it right. So I decided to stop and put it away for now.

I'm also having thoughts if aside from the written pattern that I have to make, will the progressive pictures of every layer will also help the viewers to see the output of every layer pattern. I remember making this technique before with my crochet earrings being shared here.

And also, I'm wondering how about doing or making the whole blouse while taking a video and just edit it later and make some written pattern below the video (subtitles) now and then? But I had never tried this one.

Or maybe I could practice making the diagram of every part of the blouse? Because I was more comfortable reading crochet diagrams than reading written patterns. I tried it before with my sister. She's asking me how to make a crochet panty, so I drew a diagram of how she would start. And I think I was able to share here a short diagram of a crochet item that I made before.

I am really confused for now, so I decided to stop for a while. And I don't want to put so much pressure on that, because the output will turn not good. Maybe I just need some inspiration. Or it's just me making an alibi again? 🤪

Anyway, today, I have decided to share another crochet earring as I have missed making earrings for quite a long time now. Plus I want to forget the pattern-making for a while.

As I was making a crochet flower weeks before, specifically the carnation flower, someone had messaged me asking me to make her some crocheted tulips as keychains.

And as I continue with my carnation flowers, an idea popped into my mind. I could make mini-carnation flower earrings. So right after I made the crocheted tulip keychains, I proceeded into making the earrings.

I prepared all the necessary materials that I should be needed in making earrings.

Materials:

• 3ply mercerized cotton yarn
• 2mm size crochet hook
• cutter/scissor
• 2 PCs plastic loops
• pliers (long nose)
• a pair of earring hooks

Procedure:

It'so easy to follow the steps and so easy to remember.

• First, cover the whole plastic loop with yarn by making single crochets.
• Second, make 3 double crochet on each stitch (to make some ruffles), but only the half side then slip stitch.
• Third, for the 2nd layer of double crochet, just follow this pattern (2•2•3) 2dc, 2dc, 3dc on three consecutive stitches repeatedly.

For the final look, I changed the yarn color to define the edging. And make 3 chains and a slip stitch to every stitch.

And finally, attach the earring hooks using the pliers.

I even made another pair using other colors here. And it only takes an hour to make this pair of carnation earrings.

It was a fun experience to be able to finish a product for a short time. I always love to do things that require a shorter time. No wonder I'm lazy thinking about pattern-making.🤭 And this is also the reason why I did challenge myself.😅

Anyway, I hope you all like my today's earrings tutorial. Have a nice day everyone.

Love lots,
