Christmas Earrings
Each earring is made up of two identical parts sewn together. Start crocheting at the top of your Christmas tree.
Row 1: ch 3, *insert your hook into the second chain from the hook. Yarn over and pull up a loop. Leave that loop on your hook. Repeat from * in the next chain.
Yarn over and pull it through the first loop on the hook, then *yarn over and pull it through two loops on the hook. Repeat from *
The first row is ready.
Row 2: pull the yarn through the 2 vertical bars. You’ll get 3 loops on the hook. Then do the same as in R1, pull the yarn through the first loop, then through 2 loops.
Row 3: you’ll have to make 2 increases in this row: one at the beginning and one at the end. Wrap the yarn around the hook to make an increase, then insert the hook under the vertical bar, yarn over and pull it through the bar. Next make another increase and pull the yarn through the last vertical bar.
You’ll get 5 loops on the hook, pull the yarn through them like you dii in the previous rows (first one loop, then 2 loops)
Row 4: without increases, 5 Tunisian stitches.
Row 5: 2 increases (at the beginning and the end of the row), 7 Tunisian stitches.
Row 6: without increases, 7 Tunisian stitches.
Row 7: 2 increases (at the beginning and the end of the row), 9 Tunisian stitches.
Row 8: without increases, 9 Tunisian stitches.
Fasten off, cut the yarn.
Row 9: attach brown yarn to the 4th horizontal bar at the bottom of the tree. Pull the yarn through the next 2 stitches (3 loops on the hook). Pull the yarn through them just like you did for the other rows.
Row 10: one more row with brown yarn without increases (3 Tunisian stitches)
Fasten off, cut the yarn.
Make the second part in the same way, leaving longer ends to sew them together.
Try to hide some of the loose ends while sewing the 2 parts together.
Hide the ends that are left, pull the jump rings through the upper part of the tree, attach a hook.
Decorate tree with beads.
