Crochet Pattern: Spring Flower Earrings
By Amy Yarbrough – 11 Comments| What could be better than a pair of bright-looking spring earrings to go with that new spring dress? In my opinion, jewelry needs to look delicate and I wondered if it was possible to make yarn earrings look delicate. Even though since then I have found yarn to be an excellent choice, switching to crochet thread will guarantee that delicacy. |  |

Now you have a pair of dangling earrings for your spring attire. If you get a little hung up crocheting these I’d love to help you out. Just leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.
Oh they are beautiful. i’ve only just learned how to crochet (literally on Sunday I made my first Granny Square). I’d love to give these a go
Cute, cute, CUTE!!!
Thank you so much for this pattern, Amy!
Those are so pretty & dainty its so nice of you to share your pattern with us. You sure have talent! Thanks so much! I think I can make those (or at least try) “:)
i bought a pair similar to these from a catalog and my daughters have enjoyed them more than me!! i can rarely wear them… i am so pleased that you would share your pattern with us, maybe now i will make a few in different colors and be able to wear them!!! LOL Thank you again!!
These are lovely! I don’t have very many earrings and I think these would be a perfect addition to my slowly growing collection.
very nice earrings, simple and awesome! and the colors is super!!
If you make the earrings without hardening the flowers, will they stay like that? The yarn is so delicate, it will curl and lost the shape right?
So sorry Bindu for not getting back sooner. There was a problem with the message in my email.
I find the flowers to be stiff enough despite the delicate yarn since they are worked with a small hook and therefore quite a tight stitch.
But if you would like to harden them, I’ve heard you could brush Elmer’s glue all over them, rinse off the extra glue, and then hang them to dry. I’ve never tried it so I don’t know for sure if it will work, but the method sounds plausible.
I hope this has been helpful for you.

Excellent!
The flowers look so delicate…and fancy.
Very feminine.
Goodness…will have to put on my list, “TO DO”…top…lol…!
Great pattern. As soon as I finish them I will put a pic on Ravelry.
To firm up crochet work of any kind use 1 part glue to 3 parts water.
Saturate the item or brush the mixture on.
For very small items I use a washed out large tylenol bottle that I washed out well.
I put 1-2 tablespoons of glue with the right mix of water.
Shake it well so the mixture is right then I put the item in the container, shake it and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes depending on the stiffness of the thread.
I use long tweezers that I got years ago, but they sell them at Harbor Freight and many other tool places, to take the items out of the container most of the way and squeeze the excess glue mixture out by pressing on the edge of the container.
Then lay out on a plastic wrap covered board and pin to the right shape.
I have even used plastic containers and other items to get thing to the shape I want them.
My mother taught me to do all this when I was a little girl.
This was when doilies were popular in the 1950’s.
Hello Pallie!

Merry Christmas,
