FREE!!! Crochet Jug Cover Pattern.....

With the cooler weather, in my home, I find that we are more likely to drink water at room temperature than chilled from the fridge.

So out of necessity I've been crocheting 'Jug Covers' and would love to share this pattern with you all...

To start - Grab some of your favourite 5ply cotton (I'm using Debbie Bliss Eco Cotton in a Teal shade) and a 4mm hook.

Thread approx 20 buttons onto your yarn. Make sure they thread on easily or you'll find it difficult later on when you need to shuffle them down the yarn as your jug cover grows.
