Crocheted Mason Jar Lid Rings
Materials
Terracotta cotton yarn, 1 skein
Silver metal mason jar lid rings, 4-6

Directions
Start by making a slip knot and attaching the terracotta cotton yarn to your crochet hook.
Insert the hook into one of the mason jar lid rings and pull up a loop.
Chain 1 to secure the yarn to the ring.
Single crochet (sc) around the mason jar lid ring, ensuring the stitches are evenly spaced and snug against each other.
Continue to single crochet around the entire ring until it is fully covered. The number of single crochets will vary based on your tension and the thickness of the yarn.
Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail, and fasten off.
Use the tapestry needle to weave in the ends, securing the yarn and ensuring a neat finish.
Repeat steps 1-8 for each mason jar lid ring you wish to cover.
