This was made to go out somewhere slightly fancy (yes date!)(which was great!) but I just love how intricate the Tunisian stitch can be. Since I was wearing a green dress I paired it with green earrings, anyways enough about my time on with how to make it.

This pattern using the Tunisian stitch if you don't know how to do it please click here

what you will need

Fine wire (tarnish resistant) - 26, 28, 30 gauge (the larger the gauge the smaller the wire is, which makes it easier to work with your crochet hook)

Crochet hook - 3.25 metal hook

2 shepherd earring hooks - which ever ones that you like using (get tarnish resistant ones)

Beads - now this is up to how you want the piece to look. (please note the weight of the beads before you make earrings you don't want it to be to heavy) I used 4 green seed beads.

Wire pliers - these are not needed but make your life a lot more easy while using the end beads

Scissors - to cut the wire of course (its very fine so normal scissors will work)

step 1

Slipknot, chain 4.

step 2

Do a forward and return row 3 times (you should now have a box/ diamond shape, you will need to pull on the wire to get the shape you want, also flatten your work you can do this by squishing it with your fingers)

fasten off and leave a tail for the bottom beads.

step 3

Using the leftover tail from the slipknot put 2 beads on wrap around the shepherd hook and back through the 2 seed beads, cut the wire so a little remains and bend that so that it goes back into the seed bead.

step 4

Using the tail at the bottom place 2 seed beads on the wire wrap around the second bead and back through the first (this should leave a little loop on the bottom). Cut the wire so a little remains and bend that so that it goes back into the seed bead.

You should now have something that looks like this. Just repeat all of it again and you have a pair of earings
