This is a really easy, but beautiful pattern for a necklace. It makes a great last minute gift and never fails to impress! Feel free to use any beads, buttons, or whatever you are inspired by. I found these shell discs on clearance and bought several bags in various colours and everyone really loves it.

Yarn: I used Crosheen thread no. 10 in chocolate brown. You don't need very much, but I always buy the economy sized ball so I always have it on hand for gifts.

Hook: 1/ 2.75MM

Beads: 16 large shell discs and 32 small shell discs (the web address on the package is: http://www.ribtex.com.au )

necklace clasp

needle and thread

The necklace is approx 14 in long.

The gauge is not important in this pattern. I do work the foundation chain tight, but not taught. you need to get into each stitch and make sure that it doesn't twist as you go along.

Step 1: thread clasp, 1 small disc, * 1 large disc , 2 small discs, repeat from * until 15th large disc, then thread 2 small discs, 1 large disc and 1 small disc and the other part of the clasp.

Step 2: chain 110

Step 3: add clasp and sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 30 chains.

Step 4: add small disc and sc in next chain *sc in next chain, chain 1, add large disc, chain 1 again, sc in same space as previous sc (add small disc and sc in next chain) twice. Repeat from * to last large disc.

Step 5: sc in next st, chain 1, add large disc, chain 1 again, sc in same space as previous sc, add small disc and sc in next chain.

Step 6: sc in the next 29 chains, add clasp and sc in next two chains. Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

Step 7: I like to also use a needle and matching thread to secure both ends of the clasps to the crochet thread.

I made these earrings as a gift for women in my family, last year. They are fast to make, and you can make them different every time, depending on the thread you choose or the amount of beads you use. Topstitching thread and seedbeads to make tiny, delicate earrings; cotton thread and cat's eyes beads for bigger and distinctive ones.
The instructions in Spanish for these pieces are at my blog http://curupisa.blogspot.com.

Thread.
Beads of your choice.
Crochet hook, according to the yarn you choose.
Fish hook ear wires

With topstitching thread and seed beads, 1/2'' (1,25 cm).
With a thicker cotton thread, aprox. 1'' (2,5 cm)

Depends on the thread and hook.

You have to put the beads in the string before you start to crochet the earrings. For each piece made with topstitching thread, I used 51 beads. But you need to use less if you choose bigger beads.

You'll use chain stitch (ch st), slip stitch (sl st) and single crochet (sc). Through the last round you will see I'll refer to a bead single crochet (bsc) with a number beside the reference. Bsc2 means bead single crochet with 2 beads, and then you'll have Bsc3, Bsc4 and Bsc5.
To make Bsc, you insert the hook on a base stitch, yarn over, draw yarn through base stitch, slide 2 (3, 4 or 5) beads next to the loops on the hook, yarn over behind the beads, draw string through both loops. Beads will get "trapped" between the loops of the single crochet.

Chain 7 stitches and form a ring, using a sl st.
1st round: 17 sc. No need to join with a sl st.
2nd round: 2 sc, bsc2 twice, bsc3 twice, bsc4 twice, bsc5 three times, bsc4 twice, bsc3 twice, bsc2 twice. Join the round with a sl st and weave in the ends.
If you are good at hiding the tail of thread, you can choose which one to use as right side.
Insert the ear wires through the sc that aren't beaded.

Dainty cotton necklace for your spring/summer nights out!
Make it with a wool yarn and it's fine even in winter times!
This is easier to make than to explain, so if you have problems with the pattern just drop me a line and I'll be pleased to help you!
Thanks for looking!

Liven up an old pair of hoops with this simple pattern.

With a small amount of #10 crochet thread and a #7 crochet hook, and in a few minutes, you'll have a new look.

#7 steel crochet hook
small amount of #10 cotton crochet thread
pair of hoop earrings

Completed size depends on hoops used and number of rounds completed.

Gauge is not important with this pattern.

Rnd 1: Make a loop around the hoop and sc around to cover the hoop. Crocheting over the loose end for several stitches will eliminate sewing it in later. You can cover the hoop completely, or to your taste.

Rnd 2:. Turn, (do not ch 1) sk first ch, * sc in next ch, sk two ch, sc in next ch, repeat from *. You should do these sc's a little loose to reach the next st.

Rnd 3: Turn, sk first st, * sc in next st, sk 1 st, repeat from * around.

Rnd 4: Turn, sk first st, * sl st in next st, sk next st, repeat around.
At this point, you can fasten off and sew in the loose end, or add another round. The white hoops above were done with 3 rounds and the black hoops were done with 4 rounds. The more rounds you add, the lacier the look becomes.

I've tried to write down a pattern for this necklace once it was done, (I use to work by sudden inspiration!).
I don't know if it's very clear, but you can make any question if you're confused on the pattern.:)
Hope you'll enjoy!

Less than one ball of any colour cotton yarn (worsted weight)

Sc in first sc and in next 3 sc, ch84, sc in the 4 sc at the beg of previous row, ch3 and sl st on the other side of the same closure piece to make a button hole.

These earrings/pendant were creates while designing my Pretty Picot Poinsettia Snowflake. I thought the center of the snowflake made an adorable small snowflake all on its own and thought that it would make an adorable jewelery set.

ETA: I'm sorry about the bad photo, it's all that I have right now. At the time, all that I had was the camera on my cell phone and the earrings were a gift that I made for someone.

I recently got a "real" digital camera and as soon as I make up a new pair, I will update this photo.
Thanks
