Happy Friday! The weather in my neck of the woods has been unseasonably warm, it’s been unbelievable. A trip to the park left us all wore out but happy to be soaked in warm sunshine. It’s hard to believe that the Holidays are just around the corner. I am holding off to get my tree out until after Thanskgiving, but these little pops of holiday cheer make me so happy! These adorable crochet candle cozies are a cute and quick way to bring some holiday color to your decor.

July 15, 2018 at 8:56 amJust found this pattern, how beautiful! I solves the burning candle dilemma by going up one hook size and wrapping the candle cozies around a clear glass candle holder instead of the candle itself and much less dangerous as a gift.

November 14, 2016 at 8:13 pmThey are really beautiful. But I miss a warning on your page not to lite the candle with the cozy on. It may be a logic thing for most people, but there are always people who do not think about it and you do not want to be the cause of a house fire. So beautiful but dangerous when candle burns!

November 13, 2016 at 6:08 pmI love this pattern! I might be overlooking, but I couldn’t find the hook size. Could you please tell what size hook is used? Thank you!
Bethany says
November 15, 2016 at 8:39 amNo! I literally forgot to put the hook, yikes! Sorry about that! It’s a 4.5mm.
