After working up the Framed Granny Square Earrings, I thought I’d create some similar earrings using the Solid Granny Square pattern instead.

You could make these in multiple colors, or just the solid as I have done.

These earrings are easy to work up and work up fairly quickly, are flexible, very lightweight and have a fun finishing with the frame.

Alternatively, you could make a larger granny square and use it as a pendant for a necklace :)

Materials:
- 250-350” of 10 Crochet Thread - I used artiste 100 Percent Mercerized Egyptian Cotton in Country Rose and Tropical Pink - Hobby Lobby
- 2.35mm Crochet Hook
- Small Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends - I used a #22
- Small Amount of soft 7 Mesh Plastic Canvas - Hobby Lobby
- 2 Earring Wires - I used the 20mm Stainless Steel Ear Wires from AliCsSupplyShop
- Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
I used 10 crochet thread, but you really could use and thread like 3 size or embroidery floss to make a pair of earrings too. You could also use sock weight, baby weight or even DK weight yarns. They may work up in a different size though, so just keep track of that.

I used clear plastic canvas, but you could easily use any color you have on hand. I suggest using a soft plastic canvas and not the stiff as you want to have the flexibility for cutting and you don’t want the edges to be poking out of your earrings.

Time Spent:
I was able to work up the smaller pair in about 45 minutes, and the larger pair in about an hour.
