Crochet earrings

I was asked to make special earrings of a famous old licorice label mostly know as Licorice Pete or Black Pete (not from Donald Duck comics) here in Finland that originated from 19th century doll called Golliwog either from UK or US by Florence Kate Upton.

And here they are about a 50 cent (euro) coin size. Made with 1.5 (7 US/ 2"/42 UK) crochet hook. Have to change how I made them though as 12 cs (US)/ dc (UK) are too much at the beginning to close the circle tight enough, thus these have a hole in the middle. Also used red felt to make mouths as it didn't look good with red thread.

Joyful weekend to everyone :)

Crocheted earrings

Weekend is approaching nicely and then I'll have time to try out my brand new sewing machine! In the meanwhile here are some earrings that I've crocheted.

Used different yarns and both size 1 (10 US, 4 UK) and 1.5 (7 US, 2"/42 UK) crochet hooks.

 

 

 

The ones on red background I made for myself. No starching used and the earring hooks are nickel-free silver.

Have a lovely fall evening everyone!
