I have really enjoyed designing these motifs and creating earrings out of them. They look fantastic and I'm sure you could make them a variety of colors and have some amazing looking earrings!

I think Rnd 3 should begin w/ ch 4, sc in next ch-2 space, and then (5 dc, etc).
ReplyDeleteDid I somehow end my Rnd 2 wrong? This happened on my first and second one.
You should be ending the row 2 between the 1st and 2nd clusters, if not, you could sl st into that space before starting the next row.
DeleteI agree with KRT, there is a little mistake. I think, that 3rnd should be in this way:
ReplyDeleteRnd 3: ch 1,* sc in next ch-2 space ch1 {5 dc, 3-picot, 5 dc} in ch-5 sp, ch 1, sc in next ch-2 space, ch 4; repeat from * three more times, join with sl st to ch-1.
But this is very nice earrings. Thank you for your pattern.
Thanks Tereza for your interpretation of Rnd 3. It worked perfectly for me and I thrilled to be able to make such a pretty bit of crocheted lace! --Jennifer

I love these! The pattern has been featured on moogly this morning! http://www.mooglyblog.com/free-crochet-earrings-patterns/
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean by 3-picot? chain three then make into a picot? or make 3 picot stitches?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
It is a chain 3 to make one picot. :)
DeleteThese are so cute! I'm going to favorite them on Ravelry. :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure I know what sliding loop means. Is there anything used to stiffen up the earring?
ReplyDeletesame question as Martha. What is a sliding loop? do you mean a magic circle?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYes, it's just another term for a magic circle. I had to Google that myself.
DeleteJust found your pattern. I have this huge skein of #10 crochet thread and didnt have any ideas of what to make with it. Now i do. Thanks for sharing your pattern. I'll be making a lot of these.

ReplyDeleteHi, I think I've found somebody on etsy selling this same pattern for a profit. https://www.etsy.com/listing/527233801/crochet-earrings-pattern-pdf-file?ref=shop_home_active_15
ReplyDeleteHello! Are you allowing crafters to sell products they make with your pattern as long as you are fully credited for the pattern? These are stunning!
ReplyDeleteYes! Absolutely! Thank you for visiting!
DeleteThank u so much, I made it, it is very beautiful
ReplyDeletehello, do you have an idea how to make this smaller? Thank you
ReplyDeleteUse a more fine thread. Size 10 thread is quite thick, making them larger. Use size 20 thread, which is thinner, and they will be smaller. I made a
Deletepair using size 80 thread and thety are quite small and dainty. Be sure to match hook size to thread size. An Internet search will return several sites with hook size recommendations. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! I have made earrings using size 10 white thread, made more and secured them to hair clips (snap clips), and again in size 80 turquoise cotton thread for very dainty earrings.
I was thinking those first comments were from people that turned their work?
