Dainty Hexagon Earrings

This earring design was one of my first when I first moved back to San Diego. When we moved back, I had just delivered my youngest daughter, and was recovering from pregnancy and delivery. Crocheting was one of my biggest outlets. I loved it. I started designing a few earrings and a few scarf designs for charity. I love crocheting and I hope you enjoy this pattern!
