Hello, makers! There is something undeniably satisfying about a project you can start and finish in a single afternoon. We often get bogged down in massive blankets or complex garments that take months to complete. Sometimes, you just need that “quick win” to get your “crojo” (crochet mojo) flowing again.
That is exactly why I am thrilled to share this delicate, floral jewelry project with you today. If you have ever been intimidated by “micro crochet” or using thread instead of chunky yarn, let me stop you right there. These Crochet Daisy Earrings are the perfect introduction. The construction is surprisingly simple: you make three small flowers and link them together. That’s it!
These earrings are lightweight, completely customizable with your favorite colors, and they make absolutely stunning handmade gifts. Plus, they solve the problem of what to do with those tiny scraps of leftover thread you can’t bear to throw away.

Why You’ll Love This Pattern
- Quick Gratification: Whip these up in a weekend (or even an evening!).
- Stash Buster: This project requires very fine cotton thread, making it perfect for using up leftovers.
- Beginner Friendly: Despite looking intricate, the flowers use standard stitches like single, double, and triple crochet.
- Customizable: You can stick to a monochrome look or use up to 4 different colors per earring for a vibrant effect.
Materials & Tools
Before we dive in, gather your supplies.
- Yarn/Thread: Fine cotton thread in your chosen colors (the sample shown uses 4 colors per earring).
- Hook: 0.5 mm crochet hook.
- Findings:
- 8 jump rings (4 per earring).
- 2 earring hooks or stud bases (1 per earring).
- Tools:
- Jewelry pliers.
- Scissors and a needle for weaving in ends.
Designer’s Note: If you can’t find “fine cotton thread,” embroidery floss (all 6 strands or split, depending on thickness) or a Size 10 crochet thread are great substitutes.
Gauge & Sizing
- Flower Size: Each individual flower measures approximately 2 cm (0.75 in).
- Total Length: This depends on your assembly, but with three flowers, it creates a lovely cascading effect.
Gauge is not strictly critical for this project, but aim for tight, even tension so your petals hold their shape.
Pattern Notes & Abbreviations
Terminology: This pattern uses US Terminology.
Construction: The earrings are made by crocheting three small flowers separately. Each flower begins with a Magic Ring for the center, followed by eight petals worked in rows directly into the center ring. You will assemble them vertically using jump rings.
Abbreviations:
- MR: Magic Ring
- Ch(s): Chain(s)
- St(s): Stitch(es)
- Sl st: Slip stitch
- Sc: Single crochet
- Hdc: Half double crochet
- Dc: Double crochet
- Trc: Triple (Treble) crochet
- Sk: Skip
- Rep: Repeat
Special Techniques:
- Magic Ring (MR): Wrap yarn around two fingers, pull a loop through, and chain 1 to secure. Work stitches into the loop and pull the tail tight to close. For jewelry, weave the tail back through the first round for extra security so it doesn’t loosen.
The Crochet Daisy Earings Pattern Instructions
Repeat the following instructions until you have 6 flowers in total (3 flowers per earring).
The Center
If you want a different color center, use Color A here.
Row 1: Make a MR. Work 8 sc into the ring. Pull the ring tight. Sl st into the first sc to join. (8 sts).
Note: If you are changing colors for the petals, cut your yarn and fasten off here. Join your new color to one of the center stitches..
The Petals
The petals are crocheted separately into the foundation stitches of the center. You will work a short row for every petal and anchor it back into the center.
Row 1: Ch 7 and turn.
Row 2: Sk the first 2 chs. Work stitches down the chain as follows: 1 dc, 1 trc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc
Sl st into the next sc of the center ring to anchor the petal. (1 petal made).
Repeat: Work Rows 1 and 2 a total of 8 times until you have 8 petals total.
Finishing the Flower: After the last petal, sl st to the base of the first petal to close the round. Cut your yarn and fasten off. Weave in all ends.
Pro Tip: It is highly recommended that you block your flowers now! Use fabric stiffening spray, or a mixture of glue and water. This prevents the petals from curling and keeps them crisp.
Assembly & Finishing
Now comes the fun part—turning your flowers into jewelry!
1. Arrange Your Flowers: Decide on the order of your flowers (e.g., Blue at bottom, Orange in middle, Red at top).
2. Connect Bottom & Middle: Place the bottom and middle flowers Right Side (RS) to RS on top of each other. Using your pliers, open a jump ring and pass it through the petal tip of both flowers (pass it after the ch-2 space of the petal tip). Close the ring securely.
3. Connect Middle & Top: Repeat the previous step to connect the top flower to the middle flower.
4. Attach the Hook: At the very top flower, attach a jump ring to the top petal tip. Then, attach a second jump ring to that first one. Why two rings? This prevents the earring from rotating and ensures it hangs facing forward. Connect the second jump ring to your earring hook.
Repeat all assembly steps for the second earring.
FAQ
Q: My petals are curling up, what did I do wrong? A: Nothing! This is natural for tight crochet. Blocking is essential here. As mentioned in the pattern, use a fabric stiffener or a white glue/water mix to set them flat.
Q: Can I use thicker yarn? A: You can, but the earrings will be significantly larger. If you use a worsted weight yarn, these might turn into coasters or bunting rather than earrings!
