**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!

This tea light cozy is a great way to add some extra warmth to your can­dles. It’s sim­ple to cro­chet and even sim­pler to fol­low step-by-step instruc­tions. So don’t wait any longer — get start­ed on this cozy today!
