Materials Needed

You will need:

• 3.00 mm crochet hook
• White and black yarn recommended for the hook
• Scissors and sewing needle
• A jar (I took jars of baby food, smaller one is 7 cm in height, the bigger one is 11 cm)

Abbreviations

• ch – chain
• st – stitch
• sc – single crochet
• dec – 2 sc in one st (used to decrease the number of stitches)
• rev sc – reverse sc (note: reverse sc is a regular sc but in the opposite direction)
• dc – double crochet
• dinc – 2 dc in one st (used to decrease the number of stitches)
• X N – repeat N times
• At the end of every round, the total number of stitches is shown in brackets

Instructions

Note: Every round (2-9) starts with 3 ch (which is counted as a first dc in the pattern) and ends with sl st.

Work with the white yarn.

Round 1: 40 ch, sl st (40)

Round 2: sc in all st (40)

Round 3: (dc in next 7 st, dinc) X 5 (45)

Rounds 4-7: dc in all st (45). Note: If you are working with the bigger jar, crochet 6 more rounds like that!

Round 8: (dc in next 4 st, dinc) X 9 (54)

Round 9: (dc in next 5 st, dinc) X 9 (63)

Round 10: 1 ch, rev sc in all st, sl st (63)

Fasten off, cut the yarn, and weave in both ends.
