BEADED
HOOP EAR RING 11
Welcome
back to my ear ring madness ;)
With
many of my earlier ear rings, while we worked with a hoop, we worked either
inside it with a tiny doily or just outside.
With this creation, the hoop is in the centre and we work in circles all
around it.
Beads
show off our creativity, so go a little bead-crah crah.

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
The
beauty of this pattern is that it has practically no instruction. You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to
make this creation. You can start with
any sized hoop for that centre hole, and if you do not have a hoop, you can start
without a hoop.
But how will your centre be a bit sturdy? Well, a little more work that those of us who find hoops but you can do it too.
But how will your centre be a bit sturdy? Well, a little more work that those of us who find hoops but you can do it too.
So
start with as many chain stitches as you think you need for that centre
hole. I am not specifying the number as
it depends on how thick or thin a yarn you are using. Now to stiffen that centre you can either
start with or work it in later – but use a really thin wire. If you are starting with the wire, you just
make the hoop size you want and then work your sc all around it.
If
you want to thread it in later, then you make your chains, and then thread the
wire into the chains and then work the sc all around it.
Like
I said before, there is no stitch count.
I
am going to give you a basic idea without giving you stitch count
Start Round 1 : with working as many sc as you’d like around
your hoop.
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st. Turn
Now
remember to push your stitches back and fill in as many stitches as you can
into that hoop. Make it nice and tight –
and do not let the hoop show through at all.
If
you have done this right, then you will need no increase for the next round.
Remember
you will be turning and working Round 2 along the back. This will give the front stitches a pushed
effect and make the ear ring reversible.. but this also means that both
front and back need to be really clean and neatly finished.
Round 2 :
sc in the 1st sc and in each sc all around.
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
For
the next round, you may still not have to increase, but in case you do then
work in an increase every alternate stitch.
Round 3 :
2 sc in the 1st sc ; sc in the next sc ;
(2
sc in the next sc ; sc in the next sc) ;
rep
(to) all around.
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Attach
your ear ring hook to the centre of your ear ring creation.
Fasten
off and weave in ends.
If
you want it a little larger, then carry on increases as follows
Round 4 :
2 sc in the 1st 2 sc ; sc in the next sc ;
(2
sc in the next 2 sc ; sc in the next sc) ;
rep
(to) all around.
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
