Get Southwestern With the Free Sedona Cactus Crochet Earrings Pattern

Hey there friends, how are things going with you this week? Making any big plans, big makes, or big mistakes? I feel like I’ve done all 3 so… I will not judge 😀 But what I will do it share with you a new idea I had and now I can’t wait to make more of – tapestry/ color work earrings! And to kick off this new segment of my work, the Sedona Cactus Crochet Earrings.
Now it’s no secret that crochet earrings are a big part of my origin story. I started making earrings initially and selling them on my own website (this one before I changed it to a full-time blog). Over the years I’ve continued to make earrings, you can find many of the patterns here on my blog, and I still like to add new designs from time to time when I find inspiration hit. Well friends, inspiration was loud this time and I decided to adapt… ish, my Cute Cactus Wall Hanging to a brand new design design but this time it would be smaller and more portable – thus Sedona Cactus Crochet Earrings were born.

I cannot believe I didn’t think of this sooner. I have so, so much thread in my stash and I’m always looking for new ways to use it and a few weeks ago a thought occurred to me “why don’t I make earrings? I could do that, right?” If you follow me on Instagram I had a huge duh moment and documented it (well, not in an embarrassing way) so people could see immediately a new make I was working on. It’s such a new and exciting next step in my crochet journey. I can’t wait to make more!

Now like all my crochet tapestry makes this is a combination of carrying yarn and using bobbins. I like to carry as seldom as I can and so these are basically the same front to back and so I didn’t make another set to make them 2 sided. Nope, just added fabric stiffener and went for it. I can’t wait to wear them in public (I haven’t yet but I will, I promise you that). Do you have any requests or ideas for future earrings? And of course, you can totally make these into a coaster or something if you like the pattern but don’t’ want to use crochet thread – I totally understand that, I don’t like using ti all the time either, it can be rough on the hands.

Overall I hope you like this pattern and give it a try. Don’t forget to tag me in your photos so I can see your makes too! I love that part.
