I am so excited to finally share this cozy! This a great way to reuse those adorable Oui yogurt jars.
There are many ways to use these, I have done a set of 3 in red, green, and white with tealight candles in them for a Christmas decoration. You can easily change the colors to suit every holiday!
Other things you can use these for are in bathrooms to hold toothbrushes, makeup brushes, or cotton swabs. They can be used in the kitchen to hold small utensils, coffee stirrers, or toothpicks. You can also fill them with small candies or treats and wrap with cellophane to make an adorable small gift. I made a bunch for a craft show and they were a huge hit!
Out of all of the things I have used them for, my absolute favorite is plant propagation! They are the perfect size to get my curly spider plant babies ready for planting. I used these with spider plant babies for my child’s teacher and bus driver gifts this year. You can make these into hanging mini planters! I am currently working up a tutorial on how I convert these into hanging holders.
Below you will find the free crochet pattern.

I love it and I love how quickly it works up. I’d love to see your tutorial on converting it to a hanging plant holder!
Hi. I recently purchased this pattern from your Etsy store. I am relatively new to crochet however, I am able to crochet the magic circle, TC, etc., I am having a bit of trouble with the instructions. I am on Round 2 and wish there were a few more photos, as it’s not clear where on the MC you insert the hook to crochet the TC. How many TCs in total? Not clear on what is meant by “in each space around” A photo would really help to clarify what is meant by: “You will be working in the spaces between stitches, not into the stitch itself.”
Hoping for just a little more information. Thank-you.
When you’re looking at the MC, you will see the posts of the stitches, and the part that you normally crochet into on top. You will be inserting your hook in between the posts (space between stitches) instead of the top part that your normally insert your hook into (the stitch itself) There is a picture of round 2 on the paid pattern, right next to the instructions for round 2. And, as stated in the pattern there will be 20 TC total.
Thank you,
Erin
