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

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.
