**Crochet Basics and Supplies**
Before we get started, make sure you have the following supplies ready: a crochet hook (we recommend using a G hook for this project), acrylic or cotton yarn in the perfect yarn type and color for your cozy, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, a stitch marker to help keep track of your stitch count, and, of course, the tea light or votive candles you wish to cozy up with. Optionally, you can use a flameless tealight for added safety.
**Single and Double Crochet Stitches**
Let’s begin working with single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc) stitches. These basic crochet stitches will form the foundation of your candle cozy.
**Special Stitches**
Throughout the pattern, you’ll encounter special slip stitches (sl st), perfect for creating a snug fit around your mason jar or candle. Additionally, you might need to use a 3rd chain (3rd ch) or other special stitches, which will be explained in detail.
**Sizing and Stitch Count**
To accommodate different jar sizes, we’ll discuss adjusting your cozy pattern to fit standard mason jars, canning jars, or even drinking glasses. Maintaining the correct stitch count is essential to ensure a perfect fit.
This cozy candle can add a lovely accent to any table and is perfect for the holidays! Do you want to make a cozy for your tea light candle? This crochet tutorial will show you how to do it in minutes!
