Crochet Patterns

Little Jelly Earrings - Crochet Pattern

A lovely pair of jellyfish to adorn your ears and brighten everyone's day. They are lightweight, fun, and quick to make.

Crocheted with #10 cotton crochet thread and a size 4/1.25mm hook, they are a great portable project. (But you may need to get out your reading glasses!)

Don't like tiny crochet? Make them with bigger yarn and hooks and hang a whole smack of jellies from your nearest ceiling or tree.

Difficulty Level: Advanced Beginner

You should know single crochet (including increases and decreases), double crochet, magic ring, how to work in spiral rounds, and be ready for some fun construction techniques.

Yarn

#10 cotton crochet thread in main color (for the bell)

Main color shown is Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread Classic 10 in the Pastels colorway.

The Ocean colorway in this line of crochet thread works well for this project too.

#10 cotton crochet thread in white or cream (for the tentacles)

Both earrings together weigh less than 10g, including the findings, so this uses only a very small amount of yarn.

Embroidery floss can also be used in place of crochet thread.

Hook & Notions

Size 4/1.25mm steel thread crochet hook, or size to get gauge

One pair of earring hooks

Eight jump rings

Small yarn needle

Stitch marker or safety pin

Chain nose pliers, for opening jump rings

Gauge

9 sc and 11 rows = 1” or 2.5 cm

Gauge is not critical for this project; your earrings will just be a little bit bigger or smaller than mine.

Finished Dimensions

Approximately 3.75”/9.5 cm from top of bell to end of longest tentacle.

Approximately 1.5”/3.8 cm wide.

After purchase, you will receive an email from me within 2 business days with your pattern. Yes, an email from a real human! This process is not automated yet, so thanks for your patience.

Prism Star Motif - Crochet Pattern

Inspired by granny squares and ripple afghans, these little stars take blanket construction concepts and shrink them down to a fun motif with endless opportunity for variety.

Crocheted with #10 cotton crochet thread or embroidery floss and a size 4/1.25mm hook, they are a great portable project.

This tiny crochet project makes a great patch for jeans or a bag.
