These earrings are easy to work up and work up fairly quickly, are flexible, very lightweight and have a fun finishing with the frame. I used a plastic canvas frame because I didn’t want to block it, but you can use starch and block instead.
Materials:
- Small Amount of #10 Crochet Thread - I used artiste Crochet Cotton Thread
- 2.35mm Crochet Hook
- Small Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
- Small Amount of soft 7 Mesh Plastic Canvas
- 2 Earring Wires - I used 20mm Stainless Steel Ear Wires
- Jewelry Pliers
Material Notes:
I used #10 crochet thread, but you really could use any thread like #3 size or embroidery floss to make a pair of earrings too. You could also use sock weight, baby weight or even DK weight yarns. They will all work up a little differently so just take time to measure.
I used clear plastic canvas, but you could easily use any color you have on hand. I suggest using a soft plastic canvas and not the stiff as you want to have the flexibility for cutting and you don’t want the edges to be poking out of your earrings. Alternatively, you can use starch in place of the plastic canvas.
Time Spent:
I was able to work up the smaller pair in about 45 minutes, and the larger pair in about an hour.

The smaller square dangles 2.5”, and the larger square dangles 3.25”.
Gauge:
8 DC by 3 Rows = 1” x 1”
