Crochet covers for glass jars to make them decorative. Usable as t-light holders, pencil pots etc.. (I even have one as a container for my crochet hooks!!)
These can be adapted for any size jar with a bit of figuring out!
Yarn: Any…. vary the size of hook and the number of “rounds” depending on the jar size
Hook: depends on the yarn…. again make the pattern work relating to the yarn and jar size.
Jar: I have been using “Supermarket own brand Mayo” jars which are all similar size and shape but the pattern needs to be adjusted for the size of jar.
This pattern uses US stitches but ca be adapted for UK by reading SC as DC and DC as TRC
- MC6 (6)
- SC2 in each st (12)
- SC1, SCincrease (18)
- SC2, SCincrease (24)
- SC3, SCincrease (30)
- SC4, SCincrease (36)
- SC5, SCincrease (42)
- SC6, SCincrease (48) (VARY the increase rings here to fit the jar as necessary…… the next round would have 54 st in total and then increasing in multiples of 6…. You can also stop before frow 8 if the disc fits the base of your jar.)
- SC a row without increase in blo to turn up the sides of the jar
- 1st row of “holes” CH4, *DC, CH2* repeat *to* around the ring and slst to 2nd ch from beginning “loop”.
- Repeat row 10
- Repeat row 10
Continue rows of “holes” to the desired height (for the jars I used this was 12 rows of “holes” up to row 22
For the top I made scallops by DC x5 in the first DC from the join, then slst into the top of the next DC and so on around the top of the cover.
Slst to beginning and fasten off
Weave in all ends
