If you spend a lot of time on Facebook, you may see a lot of games going around that ask you to choose your birth month and day, or first initial and last initial to create a silly sentence. Well, being the crochet addict that I am, I decided to create one related to crochet! I hope you will find as much amusement in it as I am! :) 

I chewed my crochet hook because weaving ends makes me crazy! So, what's YOUR crochet story? :)

Round 1: ch 1, 6 sc into the circle, join with a sl st in 1st sc. Pull tail to close. Fasten off center color. (6 sc)

Attach petal color into 1st sc.
Round 2: *ch 7, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, sc in next 3 ch, sl st in next st of Round 1, ch 6, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, sc in next 2 ch, sl st in next st of Round 1,* rep *-* 3 more times. Fasten off and weave in ends. (8 petals)

FINISHING
Block each piece. After blocking, insert a jump ring into one of the ch 3 spaces of the top piece and then attach ear wire (facing right for the left ear and facing left for right ear. This will ensure that the right side is facing when they are worn.) Insert a second jump ring into the bottom ch 3 space (“petal”) and attach the bottom piece in the ch 2 space of one of the longer petals.
