Instructions using U.S terminology

Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.

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.

This is my original creation – and all it takes is half an hour to whip up a gorgeous ear ring.

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

Add beads all along the edges as you please.

Start Round 1 : with as many sc as you need to go neatly around the hoop in multiples of 3 + 1. Join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 2 : sc in the 1^st st ; (ch 3, sk next 2 sc, sc in the next st) ;

rep (to) all around and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 3 : sc in the 1^st sc ; (5 sc in the next ch-3 sp ; sc in the next sc) ;

rep (to) all around and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

For a difference, you could work picot in the 3^rd sc of the 5-sc set.

For a ch-3 picot, (ch 3, sl-st in the 3^rd ch from hk)

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

You could also add a bead in that 5-sc or on top of the picot. If doing so, (3 sc + bead + 2 sc) and then work into the next st.

If you want to make this into a picot, then (3 sc + bead + ch 1 ; sl-st into the 1^st ch-1 to finish picot + 2 sc) and then work into the next st.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Now this is the basic pattern. What I have also done is start with a bead in the centre of the hoop. So for that first you pass your hook through the bead and secure the yarn to the bead. You will then secure the bead to the hoop using sc through both the yarn running around the bead and the hoop. Ensure that you keep the stitch count. Have a fun time crafting.
