Create a cute pair of flower drops that can be worn suspended from your existing post and hoop earrings or added to an earring finding set to create a new pair.

It’s a great way to boost your jewellery collection at little cost and fantastic for using up thread or yarn scraps leftover from other yarncraft or embroidery projects.

The pattern is very versatile, allowing you to experiment with different length, colour and style options to create accessories to match your personal style and favourite outfits. You could even create extra drops to use as a pendant or bracelet charm for a matching jewellery set.

Sizes: one size but easily customised

Tension: 10 ch = 2.5cm / 1” measured over drop section using 1.25 mm hook, after blocking.

Working method: a flower is worked in the round, ending with chains and a loop to suspend it from an existing earring or add a finding to create a new earring.
