Instructions:

1. R1: make around 8-11 chains
2. R2: create 2x double crochet in the first stitch, a half double crochet in the next 2 stitches, then single crochet your way to the end of this R2. Leave a tail and chip off.
3. R3 (outside ring): tuck your hookpen in the first stitch and pull your darker colored yarn through this stitch and make a knot. Once you've made a knot, make a single crochet in this stitch. Then you're going to single crochet the outside ring, all the way to the end of this R3. Leave a tail en chip off.

4. R1: Create a magic loop and make 6 single crochets inside this magic loop.
5. R2: chain 1. Make 2x single crochets in each stitch.
6. R3: chain 1. Make 1x single crochet in the first stitch. Then make 2x single crochets in the next stitch. Then repeat until you've made your way around R3.
7. R4: chain 1. Flip your work and make 1x single crochet in the first 2 stitches. Then make a 2x single crochets in the next stitch. Then repeat until you've made your way around R4
8. R5: work in the front loops and make 1x single crochet all the way around R5. This will create a nice edge.
9. R6: from here we are building up height of this candle to your desired lenght and all you need is to single crochet!
   Attach the premade flame on top of it (where we created our magic loop R1) and insert the toilet roll in the crochet candle to give it a body.
10. When reached desired length you close the hole: work in back loops and single crochet your way around.
11. First stitch: 1x single crochet. Second stitch: 1x single crochet decrease. Repeat these steps all the way around.
12. Final round of closing the hole: decrease all the way until the last remaining stitch, leave a tail and chip off. Tuck the tail inside the candle, and you're done!
