Earring Crochet Pattern

Have you ever considered making crocheted earrings? Until recently, I hadn’t considered crocheting a pair of earrings, and now I am hooked! I am so excited to share these crocheted earring patterns with you. There are a variety of easy crochet earrings, more in-depth patterns that we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of making a pair of beautiful crochet earrings.

Each of these patterns for beautiful handmade earrings is so much fun to make, and they are the perfect gift, for any earring lover in your life. Plus, the patterns are entirely free, you just can’t go wrong with free crochet earring patterns.

No matter if you’re looking for a quick gift to make, a fun, yet quick project, or are you looking for a great accessory for a special occasion, these crochet design earrings are so much fun, and the perfect addition, no matter what. 

With all of these crocheted pairs of earrings, I am hopeful that you can find the perfect pattern for what you are looking for. Crochet design is such a fun way to express yourself and dress up your style or gift with colorful earrings, that are the perfect choice for you. There’s no need to spend a lot of money at Etsy stores purchasing the right pair. With this pattern you can enjoy a fun way to make your own beautiful, crocheted earrings. 

Now, before jumping into the different patterns, let’s first look at some details for what type of crochet hook size you should use, as well as the special yarn you want to have on hand to make these crochet earrings.

Crochet Hook Size

Because the details are so fine when making crocheted earrings, it’s important that you have a small hook size to use to make the earrings. This will help to make your detailed pattern, without them turning out very large. 

I recommend using a 2.5 mm hook, or size B crochet hook. You should be able to find this at your local craft store, but if you cannot, you can also order these small hooks online.

Crochet Thread

Yarn comes in so many different shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. Yarn comes in so many different materials as well. Although there are many different options to choose from, when you make crocheted earrings you’re going to want to select thin yarn, or what is called crocheted thread to make earrings. 

Crocheted thread is going to actually resemble thread, but it is made slightly different than your average thread, and works best for making beautiful earrings. There are a lot of thread options available, as well as different colors to choose from.

Crocheted thread is most often used to make fine projects like doilies, or lace baby booties. This is also the preferred type of yarn you will want to use to make your earrings in different sizes. 

Colorful yarn is so much fun to explore your favorite color combination. When it comes to the different colors you can choose from, feel free to select whatever color you prefer.

The best part about making beautiful, crocheted earrings, amongst many other things, is that you don’t need a lot of thread to make a pair of earrings. A little bit goes a long way in making gorgeous, crocheted earrings.

Now that you have determined what type of crocheted thread, and the color combinations you want to use, it’s time to get started gathering the other materials so that you can begin making your beautiful, crocheted earring pattern.
