The jars I’m using have a 2.75” and 3” diameter. Instructions will follow for both those sizes.
CO 40 (44) sts and join in the round without twisting the sts
To adjust the pattern, make sure to cast on a multiple of 4 stitches
Knit in 2×2 rib until piece measures 0.5”
Increase Round for 2.75” jar: K2, KFB, K20, KFB, knit to the end of round (42, x sts)
Increase Round for 3” jar: K10, KFB; repeat from to end of round (48 sts)
To adjust the pattern, increase existing sts to a multiple of 6 by working KFB(s) evenly across the round
Eyelet Rib:
Rounds 1-3: P1, K5; repeat from to end of round
Round 4: P1, SSK, YO, K1, YO, K2tog; repeat from to end of round
Repeat Rounds 1-4 until cosy touches the base of the jar when worn.
Knit in 2×2 rib until cosy covers the base of the jar when worn.
The rib may not fit perfectly across the round, but because it’s on the bottom of the jar, no one will see it. If you’d like the 2×2 rib to fit perfectly, decrease 2 sts by working two K2togs across the round until you have a multiple of 4 sts on the needle.
Decrease Round: k2tog; repeat from to end of round (21, 24 sts)
Next Round for 2.75” jar: k2tog; repeat from to last st, K1 (11sts)
Next Round for 3” jar: repeat Decrease Round (12 sts)
For those adjusting the pattern: K2tog across the round. Repeat this decrease round again.
