I would like to welcome
Adriana Bon
from Bowties and Fezzes
Raspberry jam jar cover
All around the north hemisphere,
tons and
tons of people are getting ready for the berry summer bounty.
The pacific
northwest is known for its abundance of berries
and every season, my husband
and I head towards our favorite ‘u-pick’ spot
and get as many pounds of
blueberries and raspberries as we can.
Since our small freezer can’t accommodate
the large amount of juicy berries we pick,
making jam has become a routine
post-picking process.
Some of that jam, often goes to friends and family as
Xmas gifts
or just a small something to make their pantry more exciting.
Cute labels are a must, but what better way
to dress up your jam than a crocheted jam cover?
This one was made using 100% cotton, which I highly recommend using
for
any kitchen crochet projects.
A simple change of yarn color makes it
adaptable to any jam flavor you like.
Red strawberry, purple-ish blueberry and
even peach orange!
The possibilities are endless.
And without further ado, here
is the pattern:
Bobble
jam cover
(instructions are in US terms, thus sc is
the UK double crochet )

diameter should be about 7 cm. Enough to cover a small mouth jar.

Wow thank you ever so much Adriana for sharing your wonderful pattern!
My mother-in-law makes a lot of jams so I'll be crocheting up some for her.
