I designed this jar cozy pattern to give some of my 1/2 pint canning jars new purpose as decorative accents around the house. There are many possibilities!

Create this lovely handmade gift for a teacher’s desk or to hold fresh or silk flowers for a party or wedding. Add a “flameless” candle to transform an ordinary jar into a beautiful light display.

This pattern is a relatively quick knit and uses only 50 yards of sock-weight yarn per cozy. The cozies shown in the photos were knit with PacaPeds Semi Solid yarns from The Alpaca Yarn Co.

Techniques used are knitting in the round with dpn’s, yarn over, slip-slip-knit, and passing stitches over. I used size US4 (3.5 mm) needles.
