Today I am going to share with you how to make this crochet candle jar cover ☺
I used jar from Doritos dip, but if you are going to use different shape or size jar, you may need to amend pattern by yourself.
This little project is amazing for using yarn leftovers as for this candle jar cover I only used approximately 15g of DK yarn and I made it using 3.0mm crochet hook.
