Triangular Earrings - 3 Sided Granny Square

I wear a Triangle in my Ears

Oh my GOD the crochet earring bug  is driving me wild and I am in a spree of making earrings. I am searching for trimming designs, granny square motifs or anything which I could replicate as a single motif and use it for earrings

During my search I stumbled upon a triangular motif which can be used in Blankets  and I modified it to make 2 different triangular crochet earrings.

I used a No. 10 crochet cotton thread and used 1.9 hook and here goes the steps to make these earrings

• Crochet chain 5 into the basic slip knot. Join it into a ring using slip knot.
