- A 1.5mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle (preferably smaller)
- Earring hooks
- Two wooden beads
- Scissors
Techniques Used and One-Line Guides
1. Making a Slip Knot
- Guide: Create a loop with your yarn, pull the working end through it, and place the loop on your crochet hook to begin the project.
2. Chaining
- Guide: Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to form a foundational row of chains.
3. Single Crochet
- Guide: Insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook for basic single stitches.
4. Crocheting Over Yarn Ends
- Guide: Lay excess yarn along your working row and crochet over it to secure and minimize visible ends.
5. Back Loop Single Crochet
- Guide: Insert the hook into the back loop of the stitch (instead of both loops), yarn over, and complete a single crochet to add texture to the pattern.
6. Increasing in a Stitch
- Guide: Work multiple single crochets into the same stitch to expand the pattern or create rounded corners.
7. Turning Chains
- Guide: Chain one and turn your work at the end of a row to begin crocheting in the opposite direction.
8. Attaching Wooden Beads
- Guide: Insert a wooden bead using yarn and carefully secure it by creating a loop and pulling yarn through with a crochet hook.
9. Adding Earring Hooks
- Guide: Open the earring hook, insert it into the top of the crocheted piece, and close it tightly to attach the hardware for earrings.
10. Weaving in Ends
- Guide: Thread excess yarn into a needle and guide it through the stitches discreetly to secure your work and hide loose threads.
