Crocheting earrings allows a crafter to indulge in the worlds of both jewelry-making and crocheting. This craft creates a unique fashion statement that saves you money if you are making them for yourself and earns you money if you sell them.

I have listed ten free online patterns for crafting beautiful crochet earrings.
