Of course when my daughters saw my medallion beaded earrings they wanted a pair of their own. I should know by now that I should just make three of everything. Luckily, I love doing this!For them I envisioned a pair that was smaller and daintier. I basically followed the same pattern as for mine, except I only worked the first round. I think they came out perfect!
Small Beaded Crochet Wire Earrings
Here’s what you need:
- 30 gauge Nickel Silver wire
- D hook
- 16 – size 6/0 seed beads
- a pair of ear wires
- 2 crimp beads
Resources and tutorials you may find helpful in following this pattern: Crochet Abbreviations, U.S. to U.K. Crochet Conversion Chart.
Special Stitches:
Beaded Single Crochet (bsc): Insert hook into specified stitch and draw up a loop, move bead up the wire to rest next to hook, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on hook.
(Make 2)
Thread 8 beads onto your wire.
Ch 2.
Round 1: Ch1 (does not count as stitch), work 8 bscs in 2nd ch from hook, join — 8 sts.
Fasten off leaving a tail of approx. 6 inches.
Add a crimp bead to the tail. Weave tail through the ear wire and back through the crimp bead. Flatten crimp bead to secure tail. Cut tail right after crimp bead.
Curious – why “Thread 24 beads onto your wire” when you are only using 8 in each earring?
Just a typo … I fixed it. Thanks for the catch 🙂
Thank you for posting. I love these earrings. I am having trouble getting mine to look as symmetrical as yours are, but I will keep practicing.
Working with the wire can be tricky … but definitely keep practicing 🙂
Hey,
I love these earrings 🙂 I am havin difficulty understanding the pattern although I’m sure its very simple. Could you please explain me
Which part are you having trouble with, Sarah?
I love these earrings, but I am having a very hard time with this pattern.
I’m not getting that nice empty center in the middle.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks ahead of time.
The only think I can think is to try to make your beginning chain a little looser to give yourself more room to work the first round into. Hope that helps 🙂
These are too cute. I think I might have the supplies to do this. I’ve never tried to crochet with wire before. I might have to give it a try!
Very nice earrings Kara! Thanks for sharing your tutorial.
