Crocheted Jewelry Set

A few weeks ago I made a cute crocheted jewelry set of earrings, ring and bracelet (pictured below). Today I was asked for the pattern - slight problem - I'd made it up as I went along and didn't have a pattern, so I decided to write one. Fortunately I remembered exactly how I'd made it, I even tried out the pattern and made another bracelet (pictured above) to be sure I got it right. I've never written out a pattern before, so please be nice to me :) 

I'm Australian, so you may need to work out the conversions for the size of the hooks and thread I am referring to. I used a 1.5mm steel crochet hook and regular cotton crochet thread (I think it might be size 10). I'm fairly sure I'm using US terminology for my stitches. The beads I used are about 5mm round, you may need to use more for the button if using smaller beads. This pattern would be fairly easy to adjust to suit your needs (just +/- the chain stitches), it doesn't use much thread and is quick to make - so if it takes a little trial and error to get right, it shouldn't be too much of a pain!

Flowers: Make 7 of these
Start with a slip knot, then chain(ch) 6 stitches and join the first and last chains with a slip stitch(ss) to make a loop to work around. The petals: * ch 2, 2 double crochets(dc), ch 2, ss. Repeat from * 4 times to complete flower, fasten off. Leave a long enough tail to sew a bead in the middle of flower. On five of them leave an even longer tail to attach them to the ring and bracelet.

Earrings: Attach completed flowers to earring hooks.

Ring: I used 18 ch to make mine, but this would vary depending on the size you want to make.
Start with a slip knot, then ch 18 and join the first and last chains with a ss to make a loop. Work around a row of single crochet(sc) and finish with a ss, fasten off. Stitch completed flower in to place over the join to hide any ugliness.

Bracelet: Thread 8 beads onto yarn, slide them down the yarn then slide them back up again as they are needed. Start with a slip knot, then ch 7 and join the first and last chains with a ss to make a loop for a button hole. *Ch 15, slide a bead up and include it in the next ch, repeat from * twice, ch 15. To form the button: slide 2 beads up and include one in each of the next 2 ch, ss into last ch before the 2 beads. (The next part becomes the 2nd strand of the bracelet) Continue with *13 ch, slide a bead up and include it in the next ch, ch 2, ss into the stitch that holds the bead opposite on the first strand. Repeat from * twice, ch 17, ss into loop to finish, fasten off. Stitch 4 flowers into place in the middle of the spaces.

Finish with the one thing I dislike about crocheting - hiding the tails - I find it best to hide them in the back of the flowers.
