Instructions:

Round 3: 5. Chain 1 (acts as the first single crochet), then work 1 single crochet in the same stitch. Work 2 single crochets in the next stitch. Alternate between 1 and 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Close with a slip stitch into the starting chain.

Finishing: 6. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends using a needle.

  1. Attach a jump ring to the crocheted piece.
  2. Attach the earring hook to the jump ring.
