Beautiful Crochet Earrings!

by

This weekend I made these super cute crochet earrings!  I’m in love!

Until now I haven’t dabbled much in crochet because I typically prefer the look of knitting, but I decided I should finally learn so that I can use crochet to enhance my knitted designs.  I picked up the “Crafty Crochet Embellishments” course on Craftsy because their courses are awesome and this one in particular teaches you to crochet the cutest little goodies like flowers, decorative edgings, and of course these earrings!

The instructor Linda walks you though every step with lots of helpful hints along the way.  As a newbie to crochet, I was amazed I could make these in less than an hour, they are deceptively simple and super quick.  Having someone to follow (who you can also keep rewinding 😉 ) is enormously helpful too!

What do you think of knitted and crocheted jewelry?  Have you made any?  I could definitely see it being a trend!

I wanted to share this cute little lamb pattern I found by Barbara Prime – I made him for my friend’s baby boy and he turned out so cute!  This lamb pattern is available for free on Ravelry, where you can find her other adorable stuffed animal patterns as well.  If you are new to knitting stuffed animals, this pattern is a great start!  Enjoy!
