The inspiration for these exotic crochet earrings came from a chocolate tasting room in Palo Alto, California called The Chocolate Garage. Specializing in the world’s best-tasting bean-to-bar craft chocolate, the staff needed some appropriately exquisite, hand-crafted accessories that evoke the exuberance of cacao. I designed this pattern while savoring a bar of The Garage’s so-called Happy Chocolate, so it was only fitting to christen them Happy Earrings.

Crochet lace jewelry is a perfect project for using basic skills in a new way. If you’ve never crocheted with small hooks and thread, this is a pretty way to start. Each earring takes under an hour to make so you can finish a pair in one evening, then move on to making more for all your besties. The pattern includes instructions for making two sizes.
