Small Crochet Granny Square Earrings

I’ve been crocheting a long time, but it wasn’t until I was looking through my earring stash to find earrings that match a new pale blue dress that I realized that I don’t actually own any crochet granny square earrings – which is weird because I have an affinity for granny squares.
