Great gift-giving idea too!Sweetly Organized. Corral cosmetics, art or craft supplies by crocheting cozy can covers to make work space both attractive and convenient. Several containers, in various sizes, gathered together on a wooden tray is a useful and pretty gift-giving idea!

Make an attractive vanity or desk set using your yarn stash. Recycle, Reuse and repurpose empty jars and cans with crochet cozies. Easy how-to pattern to organize in an attractive way! Great gift-giving idea too!I shared how to crochet can and jar cozies before and find they are nice for lots of places in the house. You can find wooden trays in different sizes at a craft store.  Paint in a complimentary color to the yarn you are using. Some food products come in cans with a white interior that looks nice, but any can (or jar) will work.
 

This is what I did to make a cozy to cover a small 8-oz can. Please refer to the step-by-step photos remembering you might have to make adjustments depending on the size and shape of the container you are covering.

Crochet Covers for Jars and Cans

 

Using a G hook and 4-ply yarn or cotton ch 4, slip st into 1st ch for form ring; ch 2 (top left & center photo)

Row 1: work 12 hdc (sometimes I work 10) in ring; join with a sl st in top of ch 2 of previous row. (top right photo)

Row 2: ch 2; 2 dc in each hdc around for 24 dc’s. Join with a sl st in top of ch 2 of previous row (middle left photo)

Row 3: check your circle on the bottom of your container. If you just have a little more to make the circle the same size of the bottom of container, Ch 1. If you need a bit more, ch 2 and change sc’s to hdc or dc. I used sc’s.

{2 sc in next dc; 1 sc in next} repeat around for total of 36 sc. (center photo)

 
FOR LARGER CANS:
If your are making a cozy for a larger can, add additional rows increasing as follows:
1st additional row:
{2 sc in next dc; 1 sc in next 2} repeat around (48)
2nd additional row:
{2 sc in next dc; 1 sc in next 3} repeat around (60)
Follow this pattern until correct size for your can
 

Row 4: join with a sl st. Working in back loops, just for this row, sc in each sc around. Join w sl st. (bottom row photos)Row 5 and following: working through both loops, sc in each sc around, joining with a sl st at end and chaining 1. (see photos below)

Repeat row 5 until 1 row short of top of container, changing color(s) if desired. (bottom left photo)

Last row: switch to 1 size smaller hook and repeat row 5. end off

 

Use the photos to guide you through each step.

    Those look really nice. I have one of those wood trays that's been waiting to be painted. Now I'll have to crochet some of these covers and paint that tray
