this will show how to make a crochet earring
you can use this as a decorative frame around pictures
the project is using size 3 crochet cotton
size 1, steel crochet hook
attach a slip knot to the crochet hook
take the loose end, wrap it over the main strand, now you have a loop
take the loop, wrap it over the main strand
put your hook below the center strand, back up the opposite side
this creates the slip knot
work a chain of 30
1 - 2- 3 - 4 - 5
6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10
11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15
16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 2-
21 - 22 - 23 - 24 - 25
26 - 27 - 28 - 29 - 30
make sure the chain is straight, run it between your fingers
there is one loop at the bottom of the chain
two loops at the top of the chain
insert your hook through the first chain to join
wrap the thread over the hook, pull through both loops
this joins the chain in to a ring
chain one
you can work a random amount of single crochet through the ring
continue working single crochet around to the beginning

42

45 will be my random amount, join with the beginning stitch
if you are making more than one ring, you will want to work the same amount of stitches
this is what the ring looks like
