I was inspired by this photograph

Materials used : Today I’ve used the lovely Indian light polyester viscose yarn for
the ear ring and some Indian cotton yarn for the bracelet with a 1.75 mm
General yarn info : The yarn used today is not specific to this pattern.
You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.

This ear ring will hang
straight off an ear ring hook.
The chart
here shows three sets of hanging circles.
I’ve opted to use two out of these three patterns.
Hanging Circle 1
We will make the first few
rounds of the circle, and on the very last round, we will join it to the loop
of your ear ring hook. (Chart right on top, in case you want to follow that as well)
Start with a magic circle and 10 sc in that circle.
Join with a sl-st to the 1st
sc.
Round 1 : dc in the 1st sc ;
*ch 1, dc in the next sc* ;
rep *to* all around till the
end.
Join with a sl-st to the 1st
st.
Round 2 : sc in the 1st dc ;
*2 sc in the next ch-1 sp ; sc
in the next dc* ;
rep *to* all around and join
with a sl-st to the 1st sc.
Round 3 : sc in the 1st sc ;
*ch 4, sk next 2 sc, sc in the
next sc* ;
rep *to* all around and join
with a sl-st to the 1st sc.
In our following last round, we
will work a decorative picot.
We will use a ch-3 picot, which
is (ch 3, sl-st into the 3rd ch from hk).
In this round, we will also
join our first little hanging circle to the ear ring hook.
Round 4 : sl-st in the 1st sc ;
*(2 sc + picot + 2 sc) all in
the next ch-4 sp ; sl-st in the next sc* ;
rep *to* till the last ch-4 sp
;
[2 sc ; ch 1, join to the ear ring loop ;
ch 1 , sl-st in the last sc ; 2
sc] all in the last ch-4 sp ;
and join with a sl-st to the 1st sc.
Fasten off and weave in ends ..
glue in ends as well.
Congratulations. You have one tiny little hanging circle ear ring ready.
If
you decide to hang the second circle off this one, carry on with the
instructions – else slip on your ear ring and take a selfie now. Remember to tag me on Facebook :)
Hanging Circle 2
We will make the first few
rounds of the circle, and on the very last round, we will join it to the picot
of the earlier circle.
Start with a magic circle and 12 sc in that circle.
Join with a sl-st to the 1st sc.
Round 1 : dc in the 1st sc ;
*ch 1, dc in the next sc* ;
rep *to* all around till the
end.
Join with a sl-st to the 1st
st.
Round 2 : sc in the 1st dc ;
*ch 5, sk next dc, sc in the
next dc* ;
rep *to* all around till the
end.
Join with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Round 3 : sl-st into the 1st ch-5 sp ; 5 sc in the same
ch-5 sp ;
*sk next sc, 5 sc in the next ch-5
sp* ;
rep *to* all around till the
end.
Join with a sl-st to the 1st st.
In our following last round, we
will work a decorative picot.
We will use a ch-3 picot, which
is (ch 3, sl-st into the 3rd ch from hk).
In this round, we will also
join our first little hanging circle to the earlier hanging circle.
Round 4 : sl-st in the 1st sc ;
*sc + picot in the next sc ;
[dc + picot + dc] all in the next
sc ;
sc + picot in the next sc ; sl-st in the next 2 sc* ; rep *to* all around

sl-st in the next sc ; *sc +
picot in the next sc ;

the next sc ; sc + picot in the next sc ;
sl-st in the next 2 sc and join
