“Pinwheel Flower Earrings” is a crochet pattern to make earrings or an applique. The pattern is inspired by the pinwheel flower and is super quick to make.

I made these earrings a couple of years ago but did not get to write its pattern till now. It is a beginner to easy skill level pattern. I used embroidery floss in 2 contrasting colors to make the flower motifs. A bit of sewing is also required.

I have added a video tutorial to explain the steps of the lacy petals. You can go to my Youtube video to watch that here:
