1: Ch 6 (counts as dc + ch-3), dc in 1st ch (or 6th ch from hook). Turn.Row 2: Ch 6 (counts as dc + ch-3), dc in the ch-sp, ch 3, dc on top of the turning ch (should be top of the ch-3 that counted as a dc from previous row). Turn.
Row 3: Ch 6 (counts as dc + ch-3), dc in the ch-sp, ch 3, dc in ch-sp, ch 3, dc on top of the turning ch (should be top of the ch-3 that counted as a dc from previous row). Turn.
Row 4: Ch 1, *(1 sc, ch 3, 2 sc, ch 3, 2 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the ch-3 sp, repeat from * two times, performing the last sc in the top of the ch-3 that counted as a dc from the previous row.
Be sure to block it well, as that is the best way for the earrings to keep their shape.
