Back around 2015, I saw a pattern for a mason jar cover (crocheted). Having no need for something as large as a mason jar, I set about to convert the pattern to something smaller, like a jelly jar. I do some jelly canning and give it as gifts and it's nice to also give someone a cover for the jar after the jelly is all gone. Along with the cover, they get two candles – a tea candle and a battery tea candle (not everyone wants a real flame).
An aunt of mine died and left some beautiful cotton thread and some baby yarn. She has two granddaughters – one was pregnant at the time and one had gotten married about a month before. I made a baby blanket out of her baby yarn for the new great-grandbaby and then, for a wedding present, made a set of jelly jar candle covers and a doily out of the thread. While doing this, I re-designed the top of the jelly jar cover – prior, it did not cover the band where the top screwed on – now it does and I think it's a nicer look.
Pictures – the original design, one lit up & one not. The one on the porch rail is the new design.
