Victorian Heirloom Mason Jar Cover Crochet Pattern

How pretty are these Victorian Heirloom Jar Covers? They are super fast and easy to crochet, plus the crochet pattern to the pint jar is free. They match the Victorian Heirloom Basket. I love making things that are useful and that can fancy up the house, and remind me of a time gone by. You can purchase the ad free pdf at RAVELRY.

There are so many uses for these elegant jar covers.

They can hold make up brushes, cotton balls, or bath salts. I think they would be pretty on the kitchen table with a bunch of freshly picked wild flowers

The “Victorian Heirloom” jar covers feature a drop over lace edge that has a crochet chart for you to follow. You will then switch to a smaller crochet hook and use only one strand of yarn, and yes the lace is easy too!

These  Jar Covers remind me of my grandmother.

She always had a pretty container in the middle of the table that held a huge amount of spoons. I still don’t know why she had them in the middle of the table. Maybe it was a fad back then?

Most folks can crochet one of these in less than 30 minutes.

The jar covers would be great to use in an office sitting on a desk, or alongside the matching Victorian Heirloom oval basket. Ya know that basket can hold many other things. It isn’t just for tissue rolls.

I have a couple of other jar cover crochet patterns, one is a Pineapple Jar cover and the other’s are pumpkin crochet patterns. My favorite fits around a half gallon jar. Then there is a super mini round jelly jar and they look like little pumpkins. They are so cute! Of course there is a free crochet pattern for the Pint Size Pumpkin Jar Cover.

It was really good to have you on my side of the mountain. I hope you will leavea me a comment to let me know if you will be making this jar cover or any of the other coordinating pieces. I would love to hear from you.

God Bless,
