If you like to recycle then you would like to recycle jars and today we have a tutorial on crochet jar covers so that those recycling jars you have acquire a new and attractive image. If you follow the blog continuously then you will realize that we have been publishing covers for different objects such as crochet covers for bottles or more recently crochet covers for flower pots, that is why today it is the turn of the glass jars, those that we have recycled from coffee or from the Mayo. These crochet fabrics for jars can also be very useful if you use glass jars for water or to make the cover of your mate.
CROCHET COVERS FOR ROUND JARS It seems that round bottles are the most common, but that is not why they should look the same as the others, now since it was discovered that plastic can be dangerous for storing water, today more and more people have left plastic bottles. common to opt for glass bottles or jars, so if you dare to make these ccrochet covers for jars you will surely have many clients, thus starting a new and lucrative business.
For this first model we are going to need 100 grams of medium to nacho thick wool and a number 2 crochet hook. I suggest you use pastel or very light colors such as mint, pink or sky blue that are very fashionable.
To start, knit a 15 cm long chain of only chain stitches, when you finish it, check that it has the same width as the bottle, if so, then close with a slip stitch. This cover is quite simple, because once closed we are only going to knit a single crochet in each stitch until knitting 10 cm wide, or more if your bottle needs it. To give it a more attractive look, what you can do is combine the yarn, something very simple is to knit a plot of horizontal stripes, for this knit two or three rows of one color and change the yarn in the next one.
CROCHET COVERS FOR SQUARE JARS If you want to decorate the new crochet glass jars that regularly have curious figures like a more square outline. Knitting crochet covers for bottles with these characteristics can be a bit more complicated, but we will teach you how to knit so that the cover remains with a kind of elastic and you can use the cover on any bottle.
Start as in the previous jar, chaining several chain stitches until you are about the same width as the jar, then close with a slip stitch. The point that we will use in the rest of the cover is the double crochet or medium double crochet, you can choose the first if you want a lighter fabric or the second if you want a tighter knit. For the next row we will use the same stitch, but we will take each stitch in a non-traditional way, that is, you regularly start the stitch by taking the previous one from the top, now you are going to take the stitch below, about half of the previous stitch , as if embracing the point, one you are going to knit from behind and the next taking it from the front. Continue with this stitch until you have the size you need.
