Alicia Earrings Crochet Pattern by Kristin Omdahl

These adorable earrings are quick and easy to make. For variation, add beads to the center of the fringe;  combine complementary or contrasting colors for each tier, or make solid color earrings to match your favorite outfits.

This pattern is featured in Kristin Omdahl’s brand new crochet book: “52 Crochet Gifts: Easy & Quick Handmade Gifts to Make Every Week of the Year”.

I think the drape of this yarn would be comparable to Be So Sporty Yarn. It is labeled a #2 sport weight yarn. This yarn retails for $2.75/ball or $10.99 per 4 balls.

It is labeled a #1 fingering weight yarn. I think the drape and weight of this yarn would be comparable to Be So Fine or Be So Toasty Yarn. One ball would be plenty to make any of my knit or crochet Be So Fine Yarn shawl patterns. Each gradient cake retails for $29.99.
