Supplies Needed:

• Small amounts of Paton’s Grace, but any #3 Light Weight Yarn will work
• Size D/3.25mm hook (I crochet very tightly, so you may use a B or C)

Glossary:

• MC – Magic Circle (Magic Loop, Magic Ring)
• beg – beginning
• sc – single crochet
• ch – chain
• BLO – Back Loop Only
• hdc – half double crochet
• dc – double crochet
• slst – slip stitch
• FO – fasten off

Start by working 7sc into a Magic Circle. Slst to join in beg sc.

Round 1: ch 1, in BLO, hdc in each stitch around. Slst to join to beg hdc. [at this point I sew on the flower, because it’s easier now than later]

Round 2: ch 1, hdc in each stich around for 21 stitches. (be sure to skip the ch 1 from the beginning of this round.) Slst in the next st.

Round 3: ch 35, hdc in 8th ch from hook and in each ch back to the first one. FO. Weave in end.

That’s it! I added a flower to mine, but you can do anything! Here’s the pattern for the flower I used:

Work 5sc into a MC, join with a slst to beg sc. FO

Attach petal color and *ch 3, 2dc ch 3, slst in same st. Slst in next st.* Repeat from * to * around in each st. FO leaving a long enough tail to sew flower onto top of straw cover.

Enjoy!!
