Citrus Earrings:
With warm weather fast approaching, (I can't believe it's almost March!) I thought I’d do a quick pattern for these adorable citrus earrings. I made orange earrings, but you don’t have to, you could make lemons, limes, grapefruit, or another kind of citrus. For this pattern I used embroidery thread, but you could use crochet thread, embroidery thread splits super easy so it can be frustrating to work with but you can get a small amount so you don’t have to get 500+ yards of crochet thread for something that you only need a yard of yarn.
Materials:
Embroidery thread in 3 colours: White, and the two colours for the fruit (I used a brighter orange and an orangey-yellow.
2mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Stitch Markers (safety pins or scrap yarn also works great!)
Abbreviations:
Rnd: Round
Sc: Single Crochet
st(s): Stitch(es)
*: Repeat the instructions between * and * as many times as stated
Pattern:
Using Light Orange Yarn
Rnd1: Sc 6 in Mr (6 sts)

Make another line going straight across the orange about a third of the way in between the two points
Make another line going straight across the orange about halfway in between the two points that are furthest apart
Repeat for a second earring
