    Timeless Crochet Earrings

    Published: Dec 21, 2012 · Modified: May 2, 2023 by Tamara Kelly · 11 Comments

    When I realized that this design would be debuting on the same day as the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, I knew that I had to do something special! So for inspiration I looked to the group of designs known as Mayan Crop Circles. And the result is something a little geometric, a little tribal looking, and very modern. Best of all, a pair takes less than 30 minutes to make - truly Timeless Crochet Earrings! (And now we all know we'll be around to make them, heh.)

    You can use this pattern to cover up old worn hoops, or buy a set of new plain hoops at the craft store or dollar store. I purchased a set of Darice brand hoops for less than $3, from the jewelry findings department at JoAnn Fabrics. These particular hoops are also available online in the US and in the UK, if you search for "1999-283 30mm hoops." But any hoops should work, as long as they are roughly the same size.

    Optional Stiffening Instructions:

    These are ready to wear as is, but if you would prefer the crocheted parts to be a little stiffer, mix one part white school glue with 3 parts water. Dip Rows 2 and 3 carefully into the glue mixture, doing your best not to get any on the metal. Squeeze out excess with fingers. Shape and pin earrings out on a pinning board or cardboard box covered in plastic wrap. As soon as they're dry, you're done!


    So what do you think? I couldn't time it exactly because I kept stopping to take photos, but I think I could make a pair of these in about half an hour - depending on how many times the kids interrupted me! I can't wait to wear them out - and see what all you brilliant crocheters do with this pattern!

      This would be a great way to upgrade a pair of cheap hoop that have lost their shine.
