Shell - 3 triple crochet in the same stitch, chain 4, slip stitch in the top of the same triple crochet, 3 triple crochet in the same stitch.


Hoop Size 1-1/2 in- 4cm

Materials
Size 8 Steel crochet hook
Size 10 crochet cotton
Small sewing or tapestry needle

Attach the thread to the hoop, wrapping the thread around the hoop and pulling the thread through the loop on the hook.

Row 1:  Work 30 single crochet, turn.

Row 2: *Skip 1 stitch, work 3 TC in the next stitch, chain 4, sl st in the top of the last triple crochet, work 3 more triple crochet in the same single crochet, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch.  Continue around from *.  There will be 7 shells worked. When you are finished, cut the thread and sew in the tails.

I found that 45 single crochet covered the whole hoop.  You will have more shells if you worked more single crochet.

This pattern can easily be modified to work around larger or smaller hoop earring.
