If you never tried the crocodile stitch before, here is a fun and quick way to learn. We use the vertical crocodile stitch for our earring design. I used DMC Embroidery Floss for this project. You would only need one embroidery floss to complete two earrings. This earring comes in only one size. Feel free to use whatever color you prefer but in my tutorial I used the orange color. The materials you will also need are fish hook earring wire and a needle nose pliers. In order to attach the crochet earring to the fish hook earring wire you would need a needle nose pliers to open and close the loop. The earring is constructed from the bottom up. I used a sewing needle instead of a yarn needle to weave in the tails/ends of the embroidery floss. I find it works better for this small project.
