Pattern

Round 2: ch 3, in the first ch sp, make 4 dc, *sk the next st, sc in the middle hdc, sk the next st, in the next chain space work 5 dc, ch 3, sl st in the 3rd st from the hook, 5 dc in the same ch space*. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st, finish off and weave in the ends.

Finishing

1. Apply fabric stiffener according to the product instructions to give the square body and stability. Shape the square flat while wet and allow to dry completely.

2. Trim and weave in any remaining ends with the small needle for a neat finish.

3. Attach earring hooks: use the small needle or carefully thread the earring hook through the top chain or picot space, ensuring the motif hangs evenly. Close the hook or use a jump ring if desired (jump rings not required).

Tips

• Use contrasting thread colors for a bolder look or a single color for a subtle, delicate pair.
• Work tightly and block each square before stiffening if you want perfectly even edges.
