Crochet Mushroom Lighter Holder

Notes:

• This pattern is written in US crochet terms
• Crochet skill level: Easy
• The stitch count at the end of each row is shown in parenthesis ( )
• The ch at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch

Finished Measurements:

To ensure that a standard lighter fits properly in the stem pocket, your stem should measure approximately 3 inches in length, and 1.5 inches across (7.6cm x 3.8cm) as I have shown in the photo below.

Mushroom Lighter Holder Crochet Pattern:

STEM:

Start with a magic ring

RND 1: CH 3, DC 10 into ring, then SLST into the top of CH 3 to close (10)

RND 2: CH 3, DC around, then SLST into the top of CH 3 to close (10)

RND 3-6: Repeat RND 2 (10)

To make strap: CH into the loop on your hook & continue to CH until the strap reaches your desired length. Then, cut the yarn & fasten off leaving a tail for assembly.

CAP:

Start with a magic ring

RND 1: CH 3, DC 15 into ring, then SLST into the top of CH 3 to close (15)

RND 2: CH 3, DC around, then SLST into the top of CH 3 to close (15)

RND 3: Repeat RND 2 (15)

RND 4: CH 1, SC around, then SLST into the top of CH 1 to close (15)

Cut yarn & fasten off. Weave in yarn tails.

Finishing Instructions:

1. Attach your yarn needle to the yarn tail at the end of the strap.
2. Going through the inside of the cap, pull the strap between two stitches on RND 1.
3. Then, from the outside of the cap, pull the strap between two stitches on the opposite side of RND 1.
4. On the stem, locate the stitch on the opposite side of the strap (you can use a stitch marker if it helps).
5. Attach the end of the strap to the top of this stitch with a secure knot (use the yarn tail to create your knot). Then, weave in yarn tail & cut off any excess.
6. Finally, adjust the strap as needed & tuck the stem into the cap. You’re all done!
