I've been fighting a real itch to get crafty again recently. I haven't really touched any projects—knit, crochet, cross stitch, or otherwise—since I went "head down" on the dissertation back in February. I'm finally in a position where I have a little breathing room (honestly I should still be working on it anyway) but to fend off losing my sanity I opted to crochet something. I stumbled across this cute mason jar cozy pattern on A Beautiful Mess and decided to give it a go.
I used some old Knitpicks Merino Style yarn in a bright turquoise and a 3.5mm hook. There isn't a gauge listed on the pattern but I'm guessing they either crochet incredibly loosely or those mason jars are really tiny, because this just barely squeezed onto this smaller-sized mason jar.
I modified the start of the pattern just a tad by using a magic ring rather than a ch4. I know traditional granny squares use a ch4 loop but the finish of a magic ring is just so much nicer.
I am now one step closer to covering everything I own in yarn.
