Create colorful handmade accessories in no time with these quick and easy crochet earrings! One skein of embroidery floss makes several fun pairs.
Today I am participating in the 2026 Christmas in July Make Along with the Underground Crafter. Every day during the Make Along, a new pattern or tutorial will be released.
These quick crochet earrings are just that — quick and easy. With just one skein of embroidery floss, you can create several colorful pairs in very little time. They are a fun project for using up small amounts of thread while making lightweight accessories perfect for everyday wear or gift giving.
The materials needed for the earrings are simple: cord or embroidery floss, scissors, a beading needle, decorative beads, ear wires, and a crochet hook.

These crochet frames are a charming way to add a pop of color and personality to any room. Whether you choose to display them as decorative accents on their own or use them to frame a meaningful photo, small artwork, or even a fabric swatch, they offer a creative and handmade touch. Their versatility makes them perfect for customizing your space with something truly unique.
Follow the complete instructions available in the PDF file. The above image shows the ring with one round of single crochet.
The alternative design features a round of double half hitch stitches, which adds both texture and width to the frame. While you can continue building on this round for a more elaborate border, finishing the piece right after the double half hitch row also creates a lovely, clean-lined frame on its own. It’s a versatile stopping point that works beautifully for a simpler look.

I have really enjoyed crocheting for charities. I recently found the Peyton Heart Project. This pattern works quickly, and you can use your scrap yarn for these hearts. If you would like to use a different pattern from mine, there are several other heart patterns available on the site for both crocheting and knitting. Peyton Heart Project has a printable tag you can use with your heart and then place your heart somewhere that it can be found.
From the Peyton Heart Project’s website:
A global project was created to help end suicide and bullying and the stigma surrounding mental health issues. The Peyton Heart Project was inspired by several stories including that of a 13-year-old boy named Peyton James who died by suicide in 2014. The hearts are placed in public places worldwide for people to find during their everyday lives. We hope the hearts cause people to stop for a moment and reflect on a young life lost to suicide, on bullying, and on the fact that everyone’s life matters.
I plan to add the tag to the hearts and carry them with me in my car. As I visit, shop, or travel I will have them with me to distribute. I hope those that find my hearts are touched and enjoy them. This is a great way to share the love of crochet and do some good with it.
Here is the pattern for the hearts I made. At the bottom of this post, you can find a free printable PDF version of the pattern if you want to download it.

How to crochet a spiral trivet with free downloadable PDF pattern.
I saw a similar project and just felt like I needed to learn how to crochet a spiral flower/pot holder/trivet. I couldn’t imagine how it was done. But I learned that it is all one piece and the swirl or spiral actually happens as you work. It really isn’t that hard to do. However, with that said, you really do need to count your stitches. I made three before I wrote the pattern. The newest version I made, I changed the color each round thinking it would be easier for you to see, but actually, it was a lot easier to work and count because I could see the stitches better. You can download a printable PDF version of this pattern at the bottom of the post.
Materials:
2 or 4 different colors of yarn (4ply acrylic yarn) similar yarn
crochet hook 3.75 mm (F)
scissors
yarn needle
Stitch Abbreviations
ch – chain
sc single crochet
dc – double crochet
ss – slip stitch
Directions:
magic circle ch 3 dc 15 tighten magic circle ss
round 1 *ch 21 ss 2nd stitch (this is called a petal)
repeat from * 7 times
work into the first chain of 21 **sc 10 3 sc in next chain sc 10
move to the next chain of 21 and repeat from ** continue around all petals
round 2 – change color if desired workaround each petal sc 11 3 sc in next chain sc 11
round 3 – change color if desired workaround each petal sc 12 3 sc in next chain sc 12
yes, as you work it does look spider-like
round 4 – change color if desired workaround each petal sc 13 3 sc in next chain sc 13
lay flat, make sure each petal is twisted the same direction
Finishing round – change color if desired from the top of a petal (center of the 3sc together) skip the top stitch then count down the right side 5 stitches begin at this point – work up to point of petal sc 5 sc 3 (into the top stitch) sc 5 down the left side
***move to the next petal, count down the right side 5 stitches work into this stitch (keep it tight) sc 5 sc 3 (into the top stitch) sc 5 down the left side
work from *** 6 more times (the next 6 petals) ss to end
work in all loose ends – I use them to stitch together gaps I feel are uncomfortable between the petals. This makes for a more solid piece.
