CANDLES

Note: I uploaded the English version to Ravelry.
The German version is available through Etsy and DaWanda. :-)

✿ ✿ ✿
Christmas, Birthday, Advent season, Baptism… there are countless occasions for which you absolutely need Candles.

Just crochet one. Or two, or three, or a huge stockpile. Despite the flame storable in drawers without danger and always ready for use!

But don’t let it burn too long, otherwise it will just melt down to a stump with wax running in all directions. ;)

With this Pattern you can crochet a Candle with whatever height/length you desire. With or without wax drips running down the sides. The visual appearance lies in your hands here.
And of course this pattern contains the instructions for the Burned Out Candle. :)
