Pattern: 1
Step 1: Start with a Slip Knot
To begin, create a slip knot with your yarn. Insert the crochet hook into the loop and tighten the knot securely around the hook.
Step 2: Crochet the Foundation Chain
Chain 20 stitches using the yarn and hook. This chain will form the base of your lighter holder.
Step 3: Single Crochet in the Round
Join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a circle. Be careful not to twist the chain. Now, you’ll work in rounds to create the body of the lighter holder.
Round 1: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), single crochet in each chain around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. (20 stitches)
Round 2-8: Repeat Round 1 (20 stitches)
Step 4: Crochet the Button Flap
The button flap will keep your lighter securely in place.
Row 1: Chain 1, single crochet in the next 5 stitches.
Row 2: Chain 1, turn your work. Single crochet in the next 5 stitches.
Row 3: Chain 1, turn your work. Single crochet in the next 5 stitches.
Row 4: Chain 1, turn your work. Single crochet in the next 5 stitches.
Row 5: Chain 1, turn your work. Single crochet in the next 5 stitches.
Row 6: Chain 1, turn your work. Single crochet in the next 5 stitches.
Step 5: Create the Buttonhole
Row 7: Chain 1, turn your work. Single crochet in the first 2 stitches, chain 1, skip 1 stitch, single crochet in the last 2 stitches.
Step 6: Finish the Flap
Row 8: Chain 1, turn your work. Single crochet in each stitch and chain space across.
Step 7: Final Round and Edging
Single crochet around the entire holder, working 3 single crochets in each corner. This will give the holder a neat and finished look.
Step 8: Fasten Off and Weave in Ends
Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Pull the tail through the last loop and tighten to secure it. Weave in any remaining yarn ends using a yarn needle to ensure your work looks tidy.
Step 9: Attach the Button
Sew the button securely to the front of the holder, aligning it with the buttonhole.
