Sweetheart Earrings
By Janet McMahon
These cute earrings are the easiest to make. They take less than half an hour to crochet and a tiny amount of yarn. They are a great idea for Valentine's Day, or any day - so what are you waiting for - grab your hook and get started!
Here's how I made them: Yarn - red crochet cotton - only small amount needed. Hook - 1.5 mm. Notions - earring hooks. Pattern (English terms used) Finished size - 1.5mm wide Make 4 ch. 1st round: 11 tr (US = dc) into 1st of the 4 ch. The other 3 ch count as first tr. Sl st into top of 3ch to join round. 2nd round: sl st into next tr, (1 dc {US = sc}, 2 tr) into next tr, (2 tr, 1 dc) into next tr, sl st into next tr, (1dc, 2 tr) into next tr, (2 tr, 1 dc) into next tr, sl st into next 3 tr, (1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc) into next tr, sl st into next 3 tr. Fastenoff. Tidy looseends. Attach earring hooks to the back loop only of the sl st at the centre of the top of the heart. So easy, yet so effective.
