Pattern for wheel earings

You will need:

2mm green wire (or any colour of your choice)                                                                                                                                                                                  

4 small beads for each earing (8 in total)

2mm crochet hook.

Abbreviations:

 ch = chain

dc = double crochet

Note: When using beads you need to thread the beads onto the thread before you begin.

After threading the beads onto the thread wind the thread around your finger about 7 times. Slip off your finger.

Round 1: Work 40dc into the ring. ss to the first chain.

Round 2: 1ch, 1dc into each dc to the end, ss to first ch.

Round 3: as round 2.

Round 4: *5ch, miss 1dc, 1dc into next dc, rep from *to end, working last dc into ss at end of round 3.

Loops at the bottom: *2ch, slip a bead into place and 1 ch, 3 ch  miss 1 ch on wheel ss into next,  repeat from* until 4 loops are made.  Cast off.

You can alter the size using different sized hooks or different thickness of wire/yarn. The necklace I made used wire 3.2 mm thick.

I hope that you have a go and experiment a bit. Good luck
