Crochet Mason jar Cozy

The body of this cozy is made using double crochet

stitches…so it goes super fast. You will also be

making single crochets and half double crochet to make

the eyes. The tricky part will be working the outer

and last round of the cozy using the crab stitch. The

crab stitch is best described as a backward single

crochet. You can find many tutorials in You Tube. You

could also finish by working a regular single crochet.

Materials Required: Worsted Weight Yarn, 5mm Crochet

Hook H, a yarn needle to sew the beak to the cozy. You

will also need a small amount of embroidery floss or

thread to make the eye slits. This cozy will fit a 1

pint mason jar.

Abbreviations Used: dc=double crochet, hdc=half double

crochet, sc=single crochet, sl st=slip stitch.

Let’s begin….working the Base

Round 1: Make a ring, ch3, counts as first dc. Work 11

dc. Join with a sl st to the first dc.

Round 2: Ch3, work 1 dc in the same stitch, work 2 dc

in each dc made in round 1. Join with a sl st to the

first dc. You will now have 24 dc.

Round 3: Ch3 and working through the back loop, make 1

dc in each dc.

Round 4-10: Work 1 dc in each dc.

Ch 1 and finish off the edge using the crab stitch.

Using the yarn needle weave in any tails.

The Eyes

To achieve the pointy eyes, you will need to make each

with modifications. Make one eye in this manner:

Round 1: Make a ring, ch1 and work 10 sc inside the

ring.

Round 2: Ch2, work 1 hdc in the same stitch, work 1 hdc

in the next stitch. Continue working *(2hdc, 1hdc).*

Repeat from *to* to the end, keeping in mind that each

stitch separated by the comma are worked on a separate

stitch. The 2hdc are worked in the same stitch. You

will end up with 15 hdc.

To make the pointy tip, ch2, work 1sc in the second

stitch from the hook, ch1, skip 1 and sl st on next

stitch.

Make the second eye in the same way following rounds 1

and 2. To make the pointy tip, after you finish, slip

3 stitches, ch2, work 1 sc in the second stitch from

the hook, ch1, skip 1 and sl st.

Using the embroidery floss stitch a curved line for

squinty eyes or sew buttons for eyes.

The Beak

Use the yarn needle and using a small length of the

cotton yarn make straight and slightly diagonal

stitches over two rows of double crochets. Finish by

making two horizontal straight stitches across at the

top. Refer to the picture and follow the lines to

stitch the beak.
