For those people who are always aware of what are the innovations and trends that are prevailing in the world of crafts; We have a step by step so you can make a crochet candle holder.
How to decorate a crochet candle holder?
To make it, you will only need the characteristic implements for this weaving technique:
Material to be used:
- A glass jars.
- Macrame thread remnants.
- Needle number 20.
- A tape passer.
- Pair of scissors.
- Measuring tape.
Procedure to follow:
- We are going to start knitting the lower part of the jar that is knitted in a medium-high crochet and in the shape of a spiral. Next, we are going to explain how to make the base: We will make a simple ring and insert the needle inside, remove the thread and weave a chain.
- We are going to start with 1 single crochet and then, inside the ring, we are going to knit about 12 stitches in half double crochet. Then, we will continue knitting in a spiral shape and we are going to chop in the first single crochet that we had knitted. There we are going to knit 2 double crochets
- On the second row we are going to knit 2 double crochets in each of the 12 stitches on the first row. We will make an increase in each point, therefore there must be 24 points, then the increases will be more widely spaced. Remember that the base has to be flat and also, the increases will depend on the tension of each of you when knitting.
- We measure what the base will be and it should give us about 7 centimeters in diameter, which is equivalent to 60 mid-high points. Now we are going to knit the fantasy stitch, which is very easy and will be explained below.
- First we are going to close the base with 1 single crochet in the next stitch and 1 slip stitch in the next. We will pick up 3 chains to replace 1 double crochet. We skip three chains and in the fourth we knit 1 double crochet and it will be a kind of inverted “V”.
- Now we are going to knit three chains and 1 incomplete double crochet. The next one we are going to weave it by skipping three chains and in the fourth, we will do it incompletely. Now, with a loop, we close the stitches and they have to be as inverted “V”; that is, one down and one up.
- This is repeated knitting three chains, 1 incomplete double crochet in the same place where we had worked the last one and now yes; We skip three chains or three stitches rather and in the fourth we knit the next incomplete high crochet and now we close the stitches with a loop. This is what we are going to knit across the row.
- When we get to the end, we are going to knit the first incomplete double crochet and we will knit the next one at the beginning of the row. We knit 1 incomplete double crochet and with a loop, we close the stitches and now we knit the three chains and with 1 slip stitch we close the row.
- The second row is worked the same. We are going to knit 3 chains and, in the center, we knit 1 half double crochet, we skip the 3 chains and we will always chop in the center of the 2 double crochets closed together. All the rows will always be woven like this, that is, this second row must be repeated.
- We are going to knit like this about 12 centimeters high according to the bottle and now we are going to make the border. It is a fan stitch ending: We knit a chain and in the first group of two double crochets closed together, we are going to knit 1 single crochet and in the next group, that is, on the edge, we are going to knit the fan of 5 double crochets.
- In each group we are going to knit 1 single crochet and in the next one a fan of 5 double crochets. We knit the entire row like this and we are going to close it with 1 slip stitch in the first single crochet that we had knitted.
- Next, we are going to weave a chain and we are just going to cut and finish the fabric. We are going to place the bottle upside down and we are going to cover it with the fabric that we just made. Finally, we are going to take the ribbon to decorate the edge and this is how our candle holder would be crocheted.
