Crochet Pattern for Can Covers, Crocheted Storage Cans, Upcycling Easy DIY

Product description

Crochet Pattern for Can Covers, Crocheted Storage Containers, Upcycling for Cans, PDF Us terms

Empty tin cans are far too precious to throw away... Just putthem in the dishwasher once, and you have perfect storage containers.

To prevent them from looking so boring and bare, you can quickly crochet them a colorful outfit using this tutorial!

You can use them to store pens, ribbons, trims, buttons, and beads. They are also great as flower pots, gift packaging, or simply as beautiful decorative objects!

Crocheting these can covers is very easy and suitable for beginners. However, basic crochet skills (slip stitch, single crochet, half, regular, and double crochet stitches) should be available.

The PDF-format crochet pattern consists of 8 pages with numerous colorful illustrations that describe and demonstrate each step in detail.

In addition to colorful mercerized cotton yarn, you will need cans with a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 12 cm (e.g., from baked beans, lentil soup, etc.).

It's ideal if you use a can opener that dulls the edges. If you don't have one, the tutorial contains tips on how to use cans with "sharp" edges.

Super schön !
Habe zum ersten Mal mit Metallringen gehäkelt, dank der tollen detaillierten Anleitung war es leichter als gedacht. Habe den Sonnenfänger meiner Mum geschenkt, die im Pflegeheim wohnt. Das Resultat: muß jetzt für ihre Zimmernachbarinnen auch noch welche häkeln, weil die es so schön fanden !!!! (-:

Eine sehr gut verständliche Anleitung. Es macht regelrecht süchtig, die fröhlich bunten Wimpel zu häkeln.
