Crochet Mason Jar Covers

Mason jars with ice and lemonade and straws, with crochet covers in varying colors.

These crochet mason jar covers are perfect accessories for a summer bbq or outdoor event! They protect your drinks from dirt and bugs, while also helping people keep track of which cup is theirs! They are super quick to work up and perfect for beginners!

The Origin of This Pattern

When I first started crocheting for craft fairs in 2015, my then 10 year old had a really fun time coming up with crafts that he could also make and sell in my booths. One of the really cute items he made were sets of cup toppers made out of perler beads, with a hole in it for your straw.

I stopped doing craft fairs in 2018, and so he also stopped making his cup toppers. Recently I was reminded of those cute little sets and thought that a crochet version would be very simple and cute.

It took a few attempts to get the correct number of rows for the width of a wide mouth jar, but once I figured it out it was a quick and easy project. My favorite kind!

The Yarn For This Pattern

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive compensation (at no additional cost to you) if you make a purchase using these links.

My go-to yarn for projects that will be in contact with food or drink, need to be washed regularly and that I want to work up fast and inexpensively… is Lily Sugar N Cream 100% Cotton yarn. Those were exactly the factors I was looking for for this project!

And since I use this yarn a lot for many of my kitchen and homemaking patterns, I had a lot of scraps to use up! These crochet mason jar covers are a perfect scrap buster project!

Add these Crochet Mason Jar Covers pattern to your Ravelry favorites HERE.

Materials:
Size 4 Yarn (I used Lily Sugar N Cream)
US J/ 6.0 mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Scissors

Gauge:

Diameter of circle should be 3.25” to 3.5” after round 4 of pattern in order to fit the 3 3/8” jar lid.

Finished size: This cover is designed to fit a wide mouth mason jar opening.

Stitches Used:
(ch) Chain
(sl st) Slip Stitch
(sc) Single Crochet
(hdc) Half Double Crochet
(dc) Double Crochet
technique: crocheting in the back loop only

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch.

I tend to crochet tightly. So be sure to check your gauge according to the notes after round 4 and if you are crocheting more loosely than me you can move to a smaller hook (or larger if you crochet even more tightly). Some people even need to go down two hook sizes to match my gauge.

This cover is designed to fit a wide mouth mason jar opening (3 3/8”).

      So glad you love it Sheila! Usually I have a link to purchase a printable pdf on Etsy, but for some reason I am having trouble loading the file on there for this one. Hopefully I will have that sorted out soon. It is available on Ravelry if you use that.
