Project introduction
This is a pattern overview of the Anna Burger Earrings, a free crochet earring pattern from DivineDebris.com, not a full step-by-step tutorial. Each earring is a tiny flat burger, worked in five cheerful thread colors that stack into a miniature sandwich you can wear. The design appeared during a playful burger-themed week on the designer’s site, alongside a matching burger bag pattern.
The earrings are named for the designer’s friend Anna, pronounced On-uh, whose birth last name rhymes with burger, a charming story the designer shares on the original pattern page. Each finished earring measures 1.25 inches tall and a little over 1.25 inches wide, measured without the findings and hook. Gauge is not critical for a project this small.
Follow the full, row-by-row instructions on the Original designer’s pattern and instructions page before you begin. That page gives the complete stitch sequences, color changes, and finishing notes exactly as published by DivineDebris.com, which this overview summarizes but does not replace.
Before you begin, gather every supply the source lists, so your little burgers are ready from the first row through the final earring findings. Fine size 10 thread gives each earring a crisp, miniature scale, and five small amounts of color do all the decorating.
- 2.00 mm crochet hook
- Size 10 crochet thread in five colors: tan, brown, yellow, green, and red (the designer’s sample used Aunt Lydia’s, and not even an ounce altogether)
- Needle that will weave in your ends
- Fabric stiffener (optional)
- Jump rings
- Jewelry pliers
- Metal french hooks
The pattern uses a compact set of stitches. The abbreviation glossary below keeps the source’s exact technical definitions, and you will need to know how to make a spike single crochet before you start, since that stitch creates the layered, melty details.
| Abbreviation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ch | Chain |
| St | Stitch |
| Slip st | Slip stitch |
| Sc | Single crochet |
| Spike sc | Spike single crochet |
| Sc2tog | Single crochet 2 stitches together |
The design is worked in rows, back and forth, with the chain 1 at the beginning of rows not counting as a stitch. In the designer’s photos, Color A is tan, Color B is brown, Color C is yellow, Color D is green, and Color E is red. Simply begin each new row with the indicated color.
Anna Burger Earrings Crochet Construction Overview
Each earring is a small flat motif built in twelve rows, layer by layer. Tan thread opens the piece as the bottom bun, brown follows as the patty, and yellow spike stitches dip into earlier rows to suggest melting cheese. Green adds the lettuce band, red the tomato layer, and tan returns for a top bun finished with tidy decreases.
Stitch work stays simple throughout: mostly single crochet, with spike stitches worked into lower rows for texture and sc2tog decreases shaping the top. Each color change fastens off cleanly, and all ends are woven in before finishing begins, so a matching pair can come together quickly.
After the ends are woven in, fabric stiffener gives the earrings their hold. The source recommends working on a piece of plastic so the stiffener does not get everywhere, then letting each earring dry completely before attaching the jump rings and metal french hooks. Once everything is set, the little burgers are ready to wear.
This is a free web pattern. The source presents the complete instructions free on the designer’s page, so treat this overview as inspiration and planning, and use the original link above for the full row-by-row directions and the copyright terms attached to it.
