Hey dearies! So, the Halloween Jar Cozies won for me to make on tonight’s live on my Facebook page! If you would like more information about that, scroll all the way to the end.
This is probably going to be on the the most challenging projects that I have tried, so bare with me! I want to shout out to Red Heart for this free pattern! Here is the link of the actually pattern:
*Note: I don’t own this pattern, all rights go to the owner of the pattern. I make the pattern easier to understand, in my own words, but I DO NOT own this pattern!*
Here’s what you will need:
- Medium Yarn
- Red Heart Pumpkin, is what I’ll be using when I go live.
- Crochet hook sizes 5.0mm and 3.75mm.
- The smaller crochet hook is used to make some of the faces, you don’t have to do that.
- Black Fabric
- This is an option if you are a beginner.
- Stitch marker
- Sewing Needle
- Row Counter
- You can use a piece of paper, but I recommend using a counter, whether you use one on your phone or have a digital one like myself.
Let’s begin!
Grab your 5.0mm crochet hook and some yarn. Make a magic circle or an adjustable ring.
Round 1: Make 6 single crochets in the magic circle. Make sure that you don’t join this round! Place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round.
*Note: As we keep working up, move the marker up after the end of every round. It will make it easier to keep track of where we are at for each round.
Round 2: Make 2 single crochets in each of the stitches, until you reach where the marker is.
Round 3: Single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches. Make 2 single crochets in the next stitch. Repeat until your reach the marker.
Round 4: Single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches. Make 2 single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat until you reach the maker.
Round 5: Single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches. Make 2 single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat until you reach the maker.
Round 6: Single crochet in each of the next 4 stitches. Make 2 single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat until you reach the maker.
Round 7: Single crochet in each of the next 5 stitches. Make 2 single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat until you reach the maker.
Round 8: Single crochet in each of the next 6 stitches. Make 2 single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat until you reach the maker.
Round 9: Single crochet in each of the next 11 stitches. Make 2 single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat until you reach the maker.
Round 10: Single crochet in the back loop only, of each stitch around.
*Note: If you don’t know how to single crochet from the back loop only, here is a link to a video that will show you how:

Round 11-15: Single crochet in each stitches around.
Round 16: Single crochet together over the next 2 stitches. Single crochet in each of the next 24 stitches. Repeat once more.
Round 17-33: Single crochet in each stitch around.
Fasten off and you can remove the marker!
Now that we have completed the base, you can leave it how it is or take some black fabric and shape it to look like a pumpkin.
Best part about this pattern is that you can use whatever color you want and it would be the perfect cover for gifts, especially if you can! If you are looking to make it for a larger jar, check the pattern and look at the gauge.
I will be going live on my Facebook page tonight, showing you how to make this! If you are intersected in watching me make this, check out my Facebook page and make sure that you like my page, so that you can keep up to date on when I go live or make sure you don’t miss the polls!
