HOOP EAR RING 15

I’ve been on a mad ear ring spree.. just making motifs and stringing them into ear ring hooks

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, there is a big bead that’s the pivot for this whole creation.

Beads show off our creativity, so be adventurous.

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.

I saw this ear ring and knew that I had to make it. There is no chart or diagram, and these are just my notes as I work on my own creation.

Once again do note that these are just ideas and you can work with any yarn (and suitable hook) using any bead as pivot to make this project.

You can start with any number of stitches that work for you as in this pattern stitch count does not matter.

The pivot for this ear ring is the large bead.

We start by threading our yarn through the bead and looping it around to the other side. There will be a yarn running under the bead, and its in this yarn that we start our work.

Easier explanation : Pass your hook through the hole of the bead and loop the yarn using a slip knot from the opposite end. Pull the yarn through. Then go from under the bead and make a sc or sl-st on the yarn at the other end. You now have the bead locked in, and a yarn running under the bead. This is the yarn we will use. Got it?

We will work in rows, side to side.

Start Row 1 : by passing your yarn through the bead and looping it through the other side. Work 18 dc in that long side to side yarn. Turn.

Rows 2 - 3 : dc in the 1^st 2 sts ; 2 dc in the next st ;

(dc in the next 2 sts ; 2 dc in the next st) ;

rep (to) till end. Turn.

We will work a ch-3 picot which is ch-3, sl-st in the 3^rd ch from hk.

Now here your creativity comes in.. you can work just the picot.. or you can add in bead in instead of the picot .. or you can work in both the picot or bead.

Let your mind soar in creativity.

How to work a picot stitch : Traditionally for a ch-3 picot, you work (ch 3, sl-st in 3rd ch from hook). For a ch-5 picot, you will do (ch 5, sl-st in 5th ch from hook).

Here’s a great video https://youtu.be/8s3zVaBcn4s

Row 4 : sc + picot in the 1^st st ; sc in the next st ;

(sc + picot in the next st ; sc in the next st) ;

rep (to) till end.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
