This free crochet pattern and video tutorial shows how to crochet easy granny square earrings in 2 sizes that have a hidden, lightweight frame that helps keep the square shape without blocking!

Materials:

• Small Amount of #10 Crochet Thread - I used artiste Crochet Cotton Thread
• 2.35mm Crochet Hook
• Small Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
• Small Amount of soft 7 Mesh Plastic Canvas
• 2 Earring Wires - I used 20mm Stainless Steel Ear Wires
• Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
I have used #10 crochet cotton thread for my squares, which is 100% cotton, but you can easily use a fingering weight yarn or embroidery floss for similar results. Because you can custom cut the plastic canvas frame or block to the desired measurements, gauge is not essential for this project so feel free to change it up even more. They may work up in a different size though, so just take time to measure if you’re looking for a specific size. This is also a great project for scraps since each round uses only a small amount of yarn.

I used clear plastic canvas, but you could easily use any color you have on hand. I suggest using a soft plastic canvas and not the stiff as you want to have the flexibility for cutting and you don’t want the edges to be poking out of your earrings.

There is such a variety of earring findings. Feel free to use whichever you like best! Most earring findings have a loop at the bottom that easily opens to add your charm, but if you find yours doesn’t, just add a jump ring onto your earring finding and then your granny square would attach onto the jump ring.

I prefer Stainless Steel for my findings as it won’t tarnish and is hypoallergenic, but there is also a fun variety of different metals! I like to shop for jewelry supplies at either Fire Mountain Gems or Bohemian Findings.

I was able to work up the smaller pair in about 45 minutes, and the larger pair in about an hour.
