CANDLES

Christmas, Birthday, Advent season, Baptism... there are countless occasions for which you absolutely need Candles. Just crochet one. Or two, or three, or a huge stockpile. Despite the flame storable in drawers without danger and always ready for use! But don't let it burn too long, otherwise it will just melt down to a stump with wax running in all directions. ;)
With this Pattern you can crochet a Candle with whatever height/length you desire. With or without wax drips running down the sides. The visual appearance lies in your hands here.
And of course this pattern contains the instructions for the Burned Out Candle. :)

NEW: Additionally I put in some tips on combining both patterns to create a "not burning candle" as well.

Note:
My patterns have two parts.

• You're a pro? Great, then the first part of my pattern is most likely all you need. You'll find pure crochet instructions there with a few pictures on the side. Have a quick look on page 2 to check which pages to print (the box in the upper left corner).
• You're a beginner? Then additionally to the pure crochet instructions you'll find lots of step-by-step instructions for the different steps in the second part of this pattern. Everything is explained in detail with lots of pictures and in understandable words.

SIZE

• The size depends on your gauge, chosen type of yarn and crochet hook size.
