Just a pair of earrings

Wow,it's been a while since I last blogged, so please bare with me. First of all I would like to welcome you to my site. The main purpose of creating this was to save you money and allow you to get creative, because ever since I was a child I always love making things for people. So I thought it would be nice to teach others how to create interesting and beautiful things for themselves!! So that the gist of it.

As a Urban Outfitter fan, I always adore their clothing and accessories. One day I found a interesting pair of earrings that were crochet. I though this is cute and was about to purchase them, but as you know things in at UO can get pricey. I thought to myself that I could probably make these myself or something similar to them. So in the end I decide not to purchase it. I did some research and found pattern on how to crochet a pair of earrings.
The picture above is a pair I made myself. These earrings were designed by Julie. A Bolduc, I found it at this website

You can download the file itself or view it in it's HTML form. The earrings themselves are fairly easy, so I believe this is a great project for beginners.

I suggest that you learn the basic stitch for crocheting by going to youtube.

Here is the list materials and step on how I made my earrings:

Materials:

• 1 Ball of Aunt Lydia's "Fashion Crochet Thread" Size 3 (white or your choice)
  
• 2 Wire hook earrings (not shown on picture, sorry ran out ^^:)
• 1 size 2 steel crochet hook
• 2 shell bead (optional)
  

Okay this might look intimidating but I'll take you step by step.

Also here are some abbreviations for crochet pattern:

Ch- chain

sl- slip stitch

sc-single crochet

dc-double crochet

pic-picot

Instructions
RND 1: Ch8, join w/slst to first ch to form ring. Ch3, 13dc in ring. Ch4. 4dc in ring. Join w/slst to top of ch3.

RND 2: Ch3, slst in 3rd ch from hook. Picot made. Sc in next st. *Pic. Sc in next st. Rep from * 7 more times. Ch1. Fasten off. Weave ends into back of work.

Attach work to earwires in the ch4 area and any jewelry to the area

That's pretty much it! If you have any question just ask.

good luck!
