I think when most people think of crochet thread, they think of doilies. And doilies are very pretty - the skill needed to make them is impressive. But what else can you do with thread? The answer is: a lot! Too much to cover in one roundup. (I tried and it was getting out of hand!) Today I want to show you beautiful crochet earrings, all made with crochet thread. They are a great quick accessory to make for yourself, and they also make a charming and thoughtful gift! Here are 10 of the best patterns I've seen.
10 Crochet Earrings Patterns:
- Crochet Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Earrings by Spider Mambo, a Ravelry download: Crochet skulls are really big right now - here's a great way to try them out (and in plenty of time for Halloween!).
- Simple Peacock Earrings by Charlotte W., on NyanPon's Knits and Crochet: These are amazing to me! So eyecatching!

The Black crochet beaded earrings posts that there is a free pattern to be had. I have checked all over and have not found that one earring that I would like the pattern for. Is it still available.
Tamara Kelly says
Sorry about that Theresa, the link somehow got re-routed. Here's a direct link (I'll edit the post in a moment): http://crochetcauldron.blogspot.com/2013/10/free-crochet-pattern-1.html
