Abbreviations & Stitch Key
- ch – chain
- lp – loop
- sc – single crochet
- st(s) – stitches
- yo – yarn over
Instructions
Insert your hook into the metal hoop, yo, twist hook to create a closed lp, pull through the hoop and create a ch over the hoop.
Round 1: Working over beginning tail, [3 sc, ch 2] repeat around until hoop is full, remove hook from working lp, insert hook from back to front of first sc, pick up working lp, pull through, cut thread, pull through and tighten.
NOTE: for my earrings, I did 9-10 repeats for the 20 mm size, 11-12 repeats for the 25 mm size and 14-15 repeats for the 30 mm size. It does not matter how many repeats you do as long as you cover the whole hoop and make the same number of sts on your second piece.
Thread needle with end tail and pass through several sts to hide end and secure. Trim ends.
Using your needle nose pliers, open the loop on the earring hook to the side, insert 1 st from the ch 2 section of your piece, close the loop.
