DIY: How To Crochet A Mason Jar Cozy// Free Pattern!

Hello there! I've been staring at my scrap yarn bin for quite awhile, entirely overwhelmed by the amount of yarn that is entirely useable. I have this weird notion, believing that almost every time I start a new project, it must require new yarn. That mindset is about to change. My next few projects are going to be right from that bin, mixing and matching, recreating new possibilities utilizing a few strings or so! 

Onto this project, I've been wanting to get into creating crochet home goods and little accessories for around the house and here is my first little project! This mason jar is filled with random buttons and I just had it sitting on top of my bookcase, but I felt it needed a little spruce, a little touch of funk to fit in, so I swiftly hit up my yarn to create some magic!
