Easy Crochet Fruit Earrings – Watermelon & Orange Slices

DESCRIPTION
Add a pop of summer fun to your style with these adorable crochet fruit slice earrings! This beginner-friendly pattern guides you through creating vibrant watermelon and orange slice earrings that are lightweight, colorful, and perfect for warm-weather outfits.
Using only single crochet and working in the round, you’ll craft tiny fruit wedges with fun details—juicy red and green for the watermelon, and bright citrusy orange with a white rind for the orange slice. Attach them to earring hooks for a handmade accessory that’s both trendy and playful.
Perfect for summer festivals, beach days, or as a unique handmade gift, these crochet earrings are quick to make and totally customizable. Mix up the colors for lemons, limes, or even pink watermelon slices!

MATREALS
Yarn:
Embroidery Floss: If you’re making just one pair for yourself, it’s more cost-effective, and you won’t have extra yarn lying around that you might not use. I recommend buying 2 skeins of the main color, 1 white, 1 edge color, and 1 detail color.

Crochet Thread: If you’re making multiple pairs as gifts, it might be more cost-effective to buy crochet thread. If you already work with crochet thread, you may already have some on hand.

I used a mix of both in my photos. The red and white were crochet thread from my stash. I didn’t have any orange, so I bought embroidery floss.
