Notes

• You can make the pattern larger or smaller by changing the type of yarn and/or hook size. Depending on the size of your lip balm, lipstick or lip gloss, you might want to add a few rounds of white to increase height.
• Numbers at the end of each row (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that row.
• Please ensure that your lip balm is the size of the bottom of the holder after round 2.
• Insert your lip-balm, lipstick or lip gloss into the holder when you get to almost the end to see if you need to add a few rounds to adjust height.
  We’ll be working in the round, so a stitch marker is advised.
• Please note that I use US crochet terms.
