Ruby Heart — Free Brick Stitch Earring Pattern

On the ear

The earring rendered bead by bead from this chart and hung at its real size from the piercing of a model’s ear: from the side, and from behind with her chin raised. The model is the same for every pattern, so it shows the look, not how it will sit on your own ear. The ear wire is illustrative and is not counted as beads.
