Materials:
- E (3.5 mm) crochet hook
- 2 skeins of embroidery floss (I used DMC cotton floss in #603 for the circle and #964 for the tassel)
- Yarn/tapestry needle (a smaller one that can be used with embroidery floss)
- Scissors
- Measuring Tape
- Earring hook
- Beads (any type, just make sure they can fit onto the earring hook wire)
- 2 jump rings
- Jewelry pliers
- Fabric stiffener & small brush (optional)
Sizing:
- Total earring height is 3.5 inches tall
- Circle is 1 inch tall
- Tassel is 1.5 inches tall
Pattern Notes:
- If these earrings are too big for you, try a post backing or trim the tassel shorter.
Circle Instructions:
- Ch 4 and join in the chain furthest from the hook to create a ring.
- Round 1: Chain 2, then work 15 dc into the center of the ring.
- Slip stitch in the topmost chain at the beginning to close the round.
- Weave in all ends.
- Repeat for the second circle.
Tassel Instructions:
- Cut two pieces of yarn each about 8 inches long.
- Wrap the floss around two fingers 10 times.
- Carefully slip the bundle off of your fingers and tie it at the top with one of the floss strands you cut earlier.
- Tie around the tassel around the top part, about a quarter of the way down.
- Weave in the side tails if needed, but keep the top tails intact to tie onto the circle later.
Assembly Instructions:
- Attach a jump ring to the top of the circle. Attach the earring hook to the jump ring as well.
- Open up the hook and string some beads onto the hook.
- Tie the tassel to the bottom of the circle and weave in ends.
- As an option, lightly paint the back of the circles and tassels with some fabric stiffener. I have found that multiple thin layers works much better than one thick layer.
- Let dry overnight and they are ready to wear!
