![]() Crocheted cozys transform any old jar into colorful and unique vases, pencil cups, or countertop storage for your crochet hooks. This project is very flexible. I used recycled sari silk ribbon crocheted around talenti gelato containers and medium sized wide mouthed mason jars because that is what I had in my home already. You can use whatever you have. Fabric strips cut from old clothes or scraps leftover from quilting projects would work very well. Any container that is round with straight sides could be used. I almost made a cozy for a large oatmeal canister. The only thing stopping me from making that choice was being unable to think of a purpose for a container of that size. I want everything I make to be usefull as well as pretty. The brightly colored cups that I did make sit on my desk, holding pens, scissors, and crochet hooks. how the cozies were made:![]() I crocheted all of the jar cozies in continuous rounds (sometimes called a spiral). Instead of joining my work at the end of each round, I tighten it and then stitch right into the space after the first stitch of the previous round. I used a simple single crochet stitch because I wanted to make a dense fabric that would completely disguise the jars underneath. A lacier stitch would have left the more of the container exposed, which would be very pretty if you were going to use your jars for tea lights. Materials
