Elf Mason Jar Cozy
A reader recently asked how she could alter the Santa mason jar cozy to cover the whole jar. I advised her to simply add more rounds but I was really curious about how that would actually turn out. I decided the best way to test this would be to make another cozy, this time a crochet Christmas elf mason jar cozy. Because it's Christmas I chose to make an elf to help Santa out with presents. I hope you like my Christmas Elf Mason Jar Cozy Crochet Pattern!I did a search for Christmas elves to get an idea of colors and design and of course the mischievous elf on the shelf popped up everywhere. So on top of a helper elf I have a naughty elf mason jar cozy that fits the smaller mason jars.
Christmas Elf Mason Jar Cozy Crochet Pattern
Materials
worsted weight yarn in elf colors (green, red, white)
size 4.00mm crochet hook
mason jar
optional: scrap piece of felt or buttons or other embellishments you want to add
Abbreviations (US terms)
sc - single crochet
inc - increase (2sts in same st)
BLO - back loop only
dc - double crochet
sk - skip
sl st - slip stitch
Notes: Pattern is worked in continuous rounds, do not join or turn at the end of each round. Use stitch markers to keep track of beginning/end of each round. Depending on your tension you may need to adjust the size by increasing or decreasing stitches in order to fit the cozy on the jar. The larger helper elf fits a 500ml mason jar and the smaller elf on the shelf fits a 240ml jar.
