Lace Mason Jar Covers (Free Pattern)

• 

I'm always looking for unique things to make. There are so many fun and different things you can crochet. When I came across some posts on Pinterest for mason jar covers- I knew that was my next project!

I love giving my crocheted goodies as presents and these little cuties made the perfect gifts for my new cousins marrying into the family this year. I used a softer yarn (a lot of the posts online were made of twine) I added a simple bow at the top to keep it from gradually sliding down because I used a softer yarn. They make great candle holders or you could put a bouquet of flowers in them as well. I created them in their wedding colors as a cool keepsake.

You can find the pattern in my shop for an easy to print PDF download or the free pattern below.

Happy Crocheting!

Tips / Notes: Keep in mind the tension of your stitches. I would recommend keeping your stitches loose so that it doesn’t fit quite as snug on the jar but snug enough that it doesn’t slide down. (The ribbon can help with this if yours ends up too loose.
