This pattern is for a dainty little dual purpose item. Add a tie and you have a beautiful favour bag, that could be used for parties and weddings. Leave the tie off and you have an intricate and fun jar cover, that again could be used for a wedding or party. Add a tealight to a jar and you have a romantic table setting. Ohh the possibilities, and it is so so simple to make!
You will need
fingering weight yarn (4ply)
4mm hook (can be changed to get the size you need, experiment with smaller or larger hooks, smaller or larger yarn also changed the outcome.)
1: ch2, hdc 8 times in the first chain, join.
2: ch2, hdc in the same stitch, 2hdc in each remaining stitch.
3: ch2, hdc in the same stitch, *hdc in the next stitch, 2hdc in the next stitch* Repeat around, join.
4: ch2, hdc in each stitch around, join. (or if making a jar cover, you can do this round back loop only to give a more defined edge)
5: ch3 (dc, ch1, dc2) in the same stitch, skip 3 stitches *(2dc, ch1, 2dc) in the next stitch, skip 3* repeat around, join to top of 1st ch3
6: sl st to the first ch1 from previous round, ch3 (dc, ch1, dc2) in the same stitch, skip to the next ch1 space *(2dc, ch1, 2dc) in space, * repeat around, join to top of 1st ch3
7-9: Repeat round 6
10-11: ch2, hdc in each stitch around, join.
End off and weave in tails. Using a long piece of ribbon weave in and out of the gaps in R9 and pull tight to close.
