Mason Jar Cover

This past fall, our family moved from Indiana to Michigan. We purchased a cute little house (our first!) and settled in just in time to see the huge tree in the front yard shed its fire-red leaves, and before we’d even unpacked everything, the winter chill was moving in. So you’ll understand what I’m saying when I tell you that I’ve waited rather impatiently for spring to come. We’ve never had a nice backyard, but we do now; and it even comes with a cute porch that’s just begging for some DIY decor!

My first project? Mason jar cozies. I wanted to make something that would look cute during the day and, with the addition of a tea light, would cast a beautiful patterned shadow around it at night for those summer campfire evenings. I think a line of these would look stunning in the dark.

Of course, once I started to crochet, more ideas came into my mind for these cute mason jar cozies. They will look adorable as a vase for fresh flowers, or as part of a front porch “welcome” display. As you can see in my photos, I even got my husband to cut me some small budding limbs off of the big tree in our front yard, and now one of my cozies is on display in our dining room!

There are about as many uses for mason jars as there are stars in the sky, so why not make them look extra pretty too? I used wide-mouthed Ball Mason Jars in two different sizes (32oz and 16oz). Scroll down for the pattern in both sizes!

Yarn: Less than 1.5 oz of light (3) cotton yarn (I used Sinfonia in “Verde”)
Difficulty: Easy
Gauge: After you complete round 4, the diameter of your circle should measure about 3″.

Notes:
(1) This pattern is worked in American Standard Terms.
(2) This pattern is worked in a seamless round. Do not join at the end of rounds or chain unless instructed. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of your rounds.

THE PATTERN:

Begin with a Magic Circle.

Round 2: 2 HDC in each St around (20)

Finish by slip stitching into the next 3 stitches to smooth out the final row. Fasten off and weave in ends.

    I run a craft forum and can’t wait to work this project up before Christmas and do a Review on my site! It’s one of the lovelier patterns I’ve come across so far for mason jar covers.

    I would like to make these for half pint jars. Can you please tell me how to make it a bit more narrow?

    Rebecca: Thank you for this pretty and easy jar cozy. I think the design is different than many that I’ve seen. My favorite choice is to make it in a solid color, and if you want you can put an embellishment on the front. However I did a couple using yarn that made a striped pattern and that turned out beautiful as well. I did not have wide mouth jars, but in the last few rows at the top, I did as you suggested and crocheted tightly. After putting it on the jar, I kind of pressed the top rows to the jar with my hands and it stays with no gaps or stretched appearance. It works up quick and makes a nice gift. Thanks again!

    I love you pattern.
    I just ordered my jars and realized I got the regular mouth, not wide. Will the pattern still work? How will I need to adjust the pattern?

    Help, please.

      You’ll probably be fine, and you can always do a few decreases when you get to the top if you want it to hug the rim 🙂
