CURRENT EXHIBIT
A curated collection of handcrafted crochet inspired by Caribbean folklore, island wildlife, and tropical gardens.
This pattern contains 5 pages of written instructions with photos to guide you through creating your own pair of Pineapple earrings.
The jewelry pictured was crocheted using a size 1.00mm hook and lace-weight yarn. It comes out to 1.5 inches long.
You will use all of the following yarn colors: yellow, brown, and green crochet thread.
If you’d like it larger, just size up your yarn and hook sizes. This pattern will work up with any compatible-sized yarn and crochet hook, so try making this pineapple in different sizes.
These patterns are pretty quick and easy to work up. It’s good for beginners as they can help practice tension, color changes, and decreases.
Created by hand with 100% cotton thread, remaining sturdy, lightweight, and flexible.
Includes one (1) left earring and one (1) right earring, along with transparent rubber backings.
Handmade items are created individually and may have slight variations. That’s the beauty of buying a unique, handmade item!
