FREE Crochet Pattern Fantasy Flower Beaded Candle Drape Or Mini Doily In Two Sizes!

Candles have lots of beauty when they are lit, but when not in action they're kind of... blah! Why not crochet a beautiful cover for the candle lid to dress it up to match your décor!

This crochets up very quickly with a small amount of #10 cotton thread and beads or crystals, and will fit a 4" round glass candle jar lid nicely

If you crochet it with size 20 thread and an accordingly smaller hook, (I used 9), it will fit a 2" round glass candle jar lid. I've shown both sizes here to give you an idea.

Hope you have as much fun crocheting it as I did! I just love fantasy flowers!

Small amount of #10 or #20 cotton crochet thread in two colors

Beads of your choice

15" of 1/4" satin ribbon (optional)

Glass candle jar with removable lid, 4" or 2" diameter

If you love crocheting fantasy flowers, here's a fun candle drape or mini doily to make.

NOTE: If you make this in size 10 thread, it will fit a 4" glass candle iid. If you make it with size 20 thread and a size 9 hook, it will fit a 2" glass candle lid.

Round 17 (Beading Round)

Note: My personal preference is NOT to string the gemstones or crystals on the thread. I do a slip stitch through the hole of the stone right at the point where I want to add it. If you prefer another method, use that.

Repeat from * around. Fasten off.

It worked great! I placed the drape on the lid, decided at what point I wanted to gather it, and simply wove the elastic in and out all around that round. Then I tied it tightly in place on the candle. Done!
