Timeless Crochet Earrings

Introduction

For inspiration I looked to the group of designs known as Mayan Crop Circles. And the result is something a little geometric, a little tribal looking, and very modern. Best of all, a pair takes less than 30 minutes to make – truly Timeless Crochet Earrings! (And now we all know we’ll be around to make them, heh.)

You can use this pattern to cover up old worn hoops, or buy a set of new plain hoops at the craft store or dollar store. I purchased a set of Darice brand hoops for less than $3, from the jewelry findings department at JoAnn Fabrics. These particular hoops are also available online in the US and in the UK, if you search for “1999-283 30mm hoops.” But any hoops should work, as long as they are roughly the same size.

Materials List

US #7, 1.65mm steel hook
5 yards Size 5 crochet thread (vintage Star Pearl Cotton in black shown)
1 pair hoop earrings, 30mm or similar size
Small sewing needle
Optional: White School Glue or other water soluble glue that dries clear:

Rainbow Lanyard

Introduction

Recently I was commissioned to make some rainbow striped lanyards. Simple enough, I thought, but truth be told, getting the right thickness and look took more thought and experimentation than you might expect! Luckily, they turned out rather well, and everyone was pleased!

When all was said and done, the construction on these couldn’t have been simpler – the only stitches used are chains and slip stitches! This technique means you can get 6 different colored stripes in less than an inch of width. The finished lanyards I made were about 27 inches long – they fit comfortably over the head, but aren’t so long as to cause a problem at lunch. One word of caution – I would not recommend these for young children, unless you alter the pattern to include a safety breakaway buckle.

Materials List

US-G, 4.00mm hook
5-10 yds each of 6 different colors worsted weight yarn (Spinrite Peaches & Creme shown)
1″ Split Key Ring (or size desired)

Finished Size

27" long: Want it longer? Just add more chains!

Introduction

These earrings are super easy. If you haven't tried "casting onto" anything with crochet, there's a link to a tutorial that shows you how to single crochet onto a hoop earring. These are quick to make and would be a great gift for Mother's Day - or any day.

Materials List

You only need a bit of thread size 10 (I used Aunt Lydia's for the pink ones and a grey one that is twisted with a strand of shiny grey mettalic thread), a few crystals or beads, a size 6 or 7 steel crochet hook and a pair of hoop earrings 1 1/8" or so in diameter.

Gauge

Gauge is really not important with this project.

Notes

String the beads first, before sc onto hoops in order on pattern instructions.

The Pattern

Go to Beaded Scallop Earrings for pattern. A PDF file download will be posted soon, after I get my new computer. (I'm borrowing a friend's right now and they don't have the program I need to make a PDF file. Sorry.

Introduction

These pretty lacy earrings will dress up any outfit. I like wearing them with a blouse and pair of jeans.

It's my first earring project and first pattern writing so if you find a hitch in the pattern please contact me directly. Thank you.

Cynthia

Materials List

Crochet thread size 10

Steel crochet hook size 7

12 small pearlized beads that the crochet thread will fit through

pair hoop earrings, 1 1/2" diameter (pattern can be worked into smaller or larger hoops with a few adjustments)

Finished Size

---

Gauge

Gauge not important, for more lacy earrings work stitches loosely. For neater, more uniform look, work stitches more tightly. I made these both ways and was very happy with the results either way.

Notes

Important: For beaded earrings, string the 12 beads onto thread before beginning work

Special Stitches

Triple Picot: ch 3, sl st in third ch from hook three times, join altogether with sl st in beginning ch of first picot, pull tight to close together.

Beaded picot: ch 1, slide 1 bead into work for next ch, ch 1, join with sl st in third ch from hook (incl beaded ch)

Beaded triple picot: ch 3, sl st in third ch from hook, ch 1, add bead to next ch, ch 1, sl st to ch preceding beaded ch, ch 1; ch 3, sl st in third ch from hook, sl st in first chain of first picot

There are some tutorial photos at the bottom of the post here that show how to sc onto the hoops, etc.

The Pattern

For photos showing how to sc onto hoop, please go HERE you'll find photos at the bottom of that post

Row 1:

Attach thread to one end of hoop with a sl st and keeping the hoop inside your stitches,

sc 42 around (if you need help with this, see photos at bottom of this post)

turn your work without a ch st.

Row 2:

sk first sc, sl st in next 8

sc in next, hdc in next, dc in next

Make beaded picot
(ch 1, add bead into ch st, ch 1, sl st in third ch from hook - including beaded ch - )

sk next st, hdc in next, sc in next, and then sl st in the following 3 sc of previous row.

sk sc, in next sc: hdc, then make a beaded picot, hdc in next sc, sk next sc, sl st in next

ch 4,
add bead in 5th ch, (keep stitches tight),
ch 4 more, sl st in st at base of ch 4 preceding the last beaded ch
(beaded loop made)

sl st in next sc, make beaded picot, hdc in next sc

sl st in following 3 sc of previous row

ch 1, make beaded picot, then hdc in next sc.

sk 1 sc. sl st in eight remaining sc

Fasten off row 2, and then proceed as follows:

Row 3 :
attach with a sc the same color or contrast color if you prefer of your choice for final round at ch st base (on side closest to middle of hoop) of first (hdc, beaded picot, hdc) cluster (Photo at bottom of this post points to the exact attachment point)

hdc in next sl st of previous row,

dc in next sl st, ch 3,

triple picot

dc into back loop of beaded ch st of the beaded picot of previous row

ch 2,

triple picot adding bead to middle ch of middle picot...

sk next beaded picot of previous row (middle one),

dc in a loop of the beaded ch st of next beaded picot in previous row

triple picot,

ch 3

1 dc in first of the three sl st from previous row, (preceding the last beaded picot in row 2 )
hdc in next,
sc in last sl st that precedes the last beaded picot of row 2

Finish off, weave in ends

Block and use fabric stiffener if necessary, to keep the frilly parts in place,

These went over nicely as a gift to a friend and my manicurist and would make a nice birthday or Mother's Day gift too

Introduction

I like these bangles, they're comfy and they don't make a loud racket when you move your arms!
Make them in a rainbow of colours to suit your outfit or simply give them as gifts.

This pattern first appeared on my blog http://hookylove.blogspot.com/

Materials List

I used Rowan Cotton Rope (Aran weight) but any aran weight would do, and a 4.5mm hook.

Finished Size

variable, that's the best thing!

Gauge

Gauge is not important, just make sure the starting chain can fit around your wrist!

I used a smaller hook than stated on the yarn, just to make the gauge is tight so the bangle has more structure.

Notes

I write in UK terms!

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
blo: back loop only
ws: wrong side

sts: stitches

The Pattern

Ch 35, sl st into 1st chain to join (careful not to twist the chain!)

Row 1: Ch 1,dc in one leg of each foundation ch around. Sl st into 1st dc to join

Row 2: Work all sts in blo. Ch 1, dc in each dc around. Sl st to 1st dc to join

Rows 3 & 4: Repeat row 2

To finish, fold in half with ws facing to form bangle shape. Sl st around, joining blo of Row 4 to one leg of foundation ch. end off.

For the black and red bangle I alternated the colours each row, for the red and yellow I changed colour for rows 2&3 then back to the original colour for row 4

Happy bangling!

Donut Necklace

lellojello — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:30:04 GMT

Author

by Kim Russell

Introduction

This is a quick, easy project for using up leftover yarn. It was inspired by a newspaper article where the interviewee was wearing a chunky silver necklace. This yarn version is much lighter and more comfortable to wear, and it can be made in any colour to match your outfit.

Materials List

Small amount of worsted-weight yarn
½” shank button
3.5 mm (E) hook
Scissors
Yarn needle

Finished Size

Chain: 40.5 cm (16")

Pendant: 9.5 cm (3.75")

Gauge

Exact gauge is not essential for this project.

Notes

Abbreviations used:

ch: chain
sl st: slip stitch

sc: single crochet

Special techniques: magic ring

Tutorial: http://www.planetjune.com/blog/tutorials/magic-ring-right-handed/

The Pattern

Necklace:

Button Loop:

Ring: Ch 6. Join with sl st in first ch.

Rnd 1: Ch 1. 8 sc in ring. Join with sl st to first sc.

Note: make sure that button fits through buttonhole easily but snugly. If you use a larger button, you will need to chain more for the ring and then make enough sc to fill in the ring.

Chain:

Ch 75. Fasten off, leaving long tail for attaching button.

Note: You can chain fewer stitches for a choker or more stitches for a longer necklace. Try it around your neck before fastening off in case the length needs adjustment.

Button:

Thread yarn tail through button shank a couple times, knot, weave in end for a few stitches and cut off excess.

Weave in other end (buttonhole end).

Circle:

Rnd 1: Make magic ring. Ch 1. 8 sc in ring. Pull on yarn end to close hole. Join with sl st to first sc. [8 sc]
Rnd 2: Ch 1. 2 sc in same sc. 2 sc in each sc around. Join with sl st to first sc. [16 sc]

Ch 2. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for joining to necklace. Leave this end alone for now, but weave in the other end.

Donut:

Ring: Ch 16. Join with sl st to first ch. [16 ch]
Sl st in ea ch around. (This reinforces the ring) [16 sl st]
Rnd 1: Ch 1. 24 sc in ring. Join with sl st to first sc. [24 sc]
Rnd 2: Ch 1. Sc in first sc. Sc in next sc. 2 sc in next sc. *Sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc**
Repeat from * to ** around. Join with sl st in first sc. [32 sc]

Ch 1. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for joining to circle. Leave this end alone for now, but weave in the other end.

Assembly:

Now you have 3 pieces: the necklace, circle, and donut.

Try on the necklace and use a stitch marker to mark the chain in the centre front of your neck, where the pendant will be attached.

With right side of circle facing you, thread end onto yarn needle. Insert needle into chain from back to front, then insert into circle from front to back. Repeat. Weave end into wrong side of circle.

Look at the circle and find the bottom stitch, opposite to where you just attached the circle. This is where you’ll attach the donut.

With right side of donut facing you, thread end onto yarn needle. Insert needle into circle from back to front, then insert into donut from front to back. Repeat. Weave end into wrong side of donut.

Simple Post Earings

Ravenart — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 22:16:34 GMT

Introduction

Some simple post earrings. And my very first pattern to boot! :o) so, if there are errors, or a simpler/wiser way to write it down/communicate it - feel more than free to let me know.

Materials List

Aunt Lydia's Classic Crochet Thread size 5 in Linen

1.0 Crochet hook

22 Light Gold Supra Metallic Czech 11/0 seed Beads

Bead needle - button bead thread

circle post earring backs

washable fabric glue.

Finished Size

1 inch

Gauge

There are only two rows to crochet, so as large as you want.

The Pattern

CH 5, Connect to first Ch with a slip stitch - (creating a circle)

Row 1: (going through the center of the circle) hdc 10 times: Connect to first hdc with a slip stitch

Row 2: *Ch 5, slip stitch in first hdc, Ch 3 Slip stitch in next hdc*. (repeat from * to * all the way around.) Tie off

°sew the gold beads around the center then glue to the post backs. Using a washable fabric glue to secure the crochet to the metal post earring back gives the earring longer staying power then other glues, because the washable fabric glue doesn't break down as you sweat.

Twice Crochet Beaded Bracelet

craftyspider — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:58:40 GMT

Author

Natalia Capel

Introduction

This is a little wrist warmer I made although it looks great as a chunky cold weather bracelet. It's beginners although it can get fiddly. I work in Australian terminilogy which is largely like that of the U.K. so a double crochet is a single US and a treble crochet is a double US. I will try to put both in but if I miss one out I will be using the UK terminology and the US in curly {} brackets.

Materials List

Gold Embroidery Thread - about 8 meters
200 x 4mm (6 per inch) seed beads of various matching colours
Sewing and Knitting needles
Marino Supreme Checkheaton - light weight [3] about 20gms
Size 3.00mm crochet needle - Size 0 US - Europe C2 - 00 UK

Size 6.00mm crochet needle - Size J/10 US and Europe - 4 UK

Finished Size

25cm circumference for the bracelet 8cm diameter for the flower

Gauge

Bracelet - 3 treble crochet (double crochet) per inch

Bead string - 10 chains per inch including the chains containing beads

Notes

The beaded chain works best if the tension is varied so as to give a slight random sizing between beads. You will find it easier to string beads onto the length of the embroidery thread and bring a few up near your work at a time. You will need to gently stretch your yarn every so often to tighten the beads into place. That's what worked for me but I tend to crochet more European style so it's up to you.

Note you are in effect creating your own yarn which you will use in conjunction with the wool to crochet the flower.

Tip. Avoid having to unravel your flower at any point. The beaded yarn will tend to get caught up on itself. It will take some patience to get it untangled.

The Pattern

For the beaded yarn. Use size 3.00mm (0) hook

Ch 2, bring a bead close to the last chain and ch over the bead. Ch 3, ch 1 with bead. Cont ch 3, ch1 with bead until yarn measures 2.1 meters. See picture below.

For flower. Use size 6.00mm (J) hook. You must crochet using the wool and your bead yarn at the same time.

Ch 4, ch in the first ch to form a circle. * Ch 5, ch 1 in center of circle. * Rep from * 6 times. Fasten off. Leave some wool for sewing remaining beaded yarn onto the bracelet. Finish by sewing the remaining beaded yarn into the center of the flower by using the wool. Leave some wool underneath to attach the flower to the bracelet.

For the bracelet.

Ch 23, * ch2, tr 1 {dc 1} in second ch from the edge, tr 21 {dc 22}*. Repeat from * to * for 5 rows. Fasten off leaving enough wool to join the two shortest ends together.

Sew the ends together as described above. Attach the beaded flower over the sewn edge taking care to cover all of the seam. Stretch the flower if necessary. Ensure each petal of the flower is separately anchored or it will flap about.

Rose choker

Ilana@4 — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:45:05 GMT

Author

Ilana MacDonald

Introduction

This is a pattern for a rose choker. It was meant as a surprise present for a friend using leftover yarn from a project she asked me to do. The rose pattern was taken from the "Brier Rose" pattern by Jennifer Fletcher from Anticraft: Knitting, Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister by Renée Rigdon and Zabet Stewart, and the leaf pattern is the "Basic Small Leaf" from Nicky Epstein's Crocheted Flowers. The body of the choker is of my own design.

Materials List

A small amount of baby weight cotton yarn in red and green (the smoother the better)
3.5mm crochet hook
A pretty button (about 3/4" in diameter) in a complementary colour (I used a red button).

Finished Size

The choker band is a little less than an inch (2.5cm) wide, and it should be long enough to fit snugly around your neck. The rose and leaves can be any size you want.

Gauge

I got approximately 14 sts per 2" (5cm), but since the number of stitches you begin with is dependent on the circumference of your neck, it's better just to go with that and not worry too much about gauge.

The Pattern

choker (green):
make a chain ribbon the length of the circumference of your neck with an even number of ch.
row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch to end, ch 3, turn.
row 2: *skip 1st st, dc in 2nd st, dc in 1st st, making an X, rep from * to end, ch 1, turn.

row 3: sc in each sc across, 2sc in ch 3 from row 2, ch 8, 2 sc in ch 3, fasten off.

leaf (green, make two):
ch 8
row 1: sl st in 2nd ch from hook, in each ch, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 3 sc in last ch, working around other side of chain in each ch, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 sl st, join with sl st in first sl st.
row 2: working blo, sl st in each st to 3 sc group, sl st in first sc, ch 2, skip next sc, sl st in 3rd sc, sl st in each st to end. Join with sl st in first sl st. Ch 4 for stem.

Fasten off.

flower (red):
make adjustable ring
rnd 1: 5sc into adj ring, join, ch1 [5]
rnd 2: sc in each st around, join, ch1 [5]
rnd 3: 2 sc in each st around, join, ch1 [10]
inside petals:
rnd 4: working flo, *(sc, ch1, dc, ch1, sc) in next st, sl st in next st, rep from * around (5 petals)
rnd 5: working blo, *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, rep from * around, join, ch1 [15]
middle and outside petals:
rnd 6: working flo, *(sc, hdc, dc) in next st, (dc, hdc, sc) in next st, sl st in next st, rep from * around, ch 1 (5 petals)
rnd 7: working blo, *(hdc, dc, tr) in next st, (tr, dc, hdc) in next st, sl st in next st, rep from * around. (5 petals)

Fasten off.

Sew in ends, sew leaves and rose to center of choker, and sew the button to the end of the choker, opposite the button loop.

Hemp/Beaded Ric-Rac Bracelet/Choker

fyrefly816 — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:11:08 GMT

Crochet is crafting for the soul

Introduction

I'm getting into making jewelry and trying new things with it. Right now I'm working on hemp (wow, this is so much easier than macrame)! It's very simple, and gives a cool jagged effect!

The orange one is done in nylon cording.

Materials List

hemp (I am using scraps, usually about a yard long, it doesn't take too much)
** or any other finer yarns/threads that you choose
Beads (this pattern uses 9 beads)
Clasp

Size D/3-3.25mm hook

Patience!

Finished Size

7"x1"

Gauge

1 row (4dc2chdc)=1"

Notes

This can be adjusted to any length depending on the size. I am using silver beads, of course they are optional.

Remember to string your beads before you begin!-- add more beads if you want this longer, I recommend having too many, rather than too few.

Also, if using hemp, remember to block it after it is done, I find warm water works the best to get your hemp to cooperate.

The Pattern

ch 4
R1:(3 dc in 4th from hk, ch2, 1dc) all in same hole, ch 3, turn (5 sts)

R2: 3dc in ch2, ch2*, dc, ch 3, turn

*slide a bead up as you do your 1st of the ch2 to get it in there nice and snug, then ch1

Repeat row 2, you will begin to see a zig-zag pattern as you move. continue to add rows until it is as long as you want it, fasten off and weave in ends.

Attach clasps and you're done!

Introduction

This is a really easy, but beautiful pattern for a necklace. It makes a great last minute gift and never fails to impress! Feel free to use any beads, buttons, or whatever you are inspired by. I found these shell discs on clearance and bought several bags in various colours and everyone really loves it.

Materials List

Yarn: I used Crosheen thread no. 10 in chocolate brown. You don't need very much, but I always buy the economy sized ball so I always have it on hand for gifts.

Hook: 1/ 2.75MM

Beads: 16 large shell discs and 32 small shell discs (the web address on the package is: http://www.ribtex.com.au )

necklace clasp

needle and thread

Finished Size

The necklace is approx 14 in long.

Gauge

The gauge is not important in this pattern. I do work the foundation chain tight, but not taught. you need to get into each stitch and make sure that it doesn't twist as you go along.

The Pattern

Step 1: thread clasp, 1 small disc, * 1 large disc , 2 small discs, repeat from * until 15th large disc, then thread 2 small discs, 1 large disc and 1 small disc and the other part of the clasp.

Step 2: chain 110

Step 3: add clasp and sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 30 chains.

Step 4: add small disc and sc in next chain *sc in next chain, chain 1, add large disc, chain 1 again, sc in same space as previous sc (add small disc and sc in next chain) twice. Repeat from * to last large disc.

Step 5: sc in next st, chain 1, add large disc, chain 1 again, sc in same space as previous sc, add small disc and sc in next chain.

Step 6: sc in the next 29 chains, add clasp and sc in next two chains. Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

Step 7: I like to also use a needle and matching thread to secure both ends of the clasps to the crochet thread.
