Mini Mandala Earrings, A Free Crochet Pattern

Hi! I hope you’re all well today, out there in the world. I’m sitting watching a gentle rain fall outside and catching up on tv from yesterday.

This week’s design is  a variation of Memory Mandala, because the anniversary of when I made it is coming up, a little while ago and thought it would make a pretty pair of earrings. This pattern is worked a bit different from the Memory Mandala, it’s written where you work the next row where the last one ended. I worked this design in 2 colors but you could definitely work it in more if you’re were so inclined.

Either way, I hope you like this week’s design and I’ll see you next week!

Finishing:
As with all my earring patterns, you definitely want to use fabric stiffener on these lils before you wear them. Just wet them down and lay them flat to dry completely, when they’re dry, attach the findings and wear everywhere.
