Boho Diamond Earrings - FREE PATTERN

Here are some super fun Diamond shaped earrings with a boho fringe! They are SO easy to make, and super adorable to wear!






This design came to me immediately after designing the Boho Triangle Earrings... Why stop at just a triangle? I could continue and make a DIAMOND! How cool would that be?! I hurried to finish the Triangle earrings so that I could work on these!! 🤣 So here you have it, the Boho Diamond Earrings.



Just like the previous set of earrings, making the diamond motif is the quickest part. Adding the fringe and styling the fringe takes FOR EV-ER!!! Once you unravel the fringe and get it shaped right, it kind of looks like a beta fish!!

FRINGE:
Cut 28 4.5" strands of thread/floss. Fold each in half. Using your hook, draw a up a folded strand through the back of the edges of single crochet edge. Then pull the tails through the loop and pull tight. Repeat with 7 tails on each side. I unraveled each string in half (so 3 strands each). Trim to desired length, about 2". I pull the fringe perpendicular to the work when trimming. this gives the cascading effect to the earrings.

Attach earring findings to the top middle of the triangle and ENJOY!
