I’ve always loved the traditional granny square pattern and how adaptable it is. I’ve seen some lovely granny square earrings and wanted to do my own take on the pattern. These earrings are super lightweight but add some fun movement to your outfit. I love dangly earrings, but sometimes they’re too heavy and hurt my ears after a while…not the case here! They’re made of two granny squares joined together at one corner, with some extra scallops on the bottom. Super easy and lots of opportunity for color variation. They’re named after the dog who walked past me right when I was looking for naming inspiration.

Skill Level:

Finished Size: 2.5″ (7 cm) long, not including earring wires; 1″ (2.5 cm) wide

Materials: Size 10 crochet thread (approximately 25 yards) Crochet Hook 2.1mm 2 earring wires and pliers to attach them with

Gauge:
Rounds 1-2 in Scalloped Granny Square measure 1″ (2.5 cm) from corner to corner.
It’s okay if your earrings are bigger or smaller as long as you’re happy with the size and stitch definition. It’s best for them to be a little bit stiff so that they dangle well. Mine worked up stiff enough that I didn’t have to stiffen them with glue, but that’s also an option.
