I had a windowsill I needed to pretty up. The solution was jar cozies in all shapes and sizes!
FYI, you don't actually crochet this while it's around the jar. I just popped it on the jar for photos!

Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

1
Ch in multiples of 6 to fit around your jar with a bit of a stretch to it.
Row 1: 4 dc into 3rd ch from hook (this is your first shell), sk 2, sc, sk 2, *5 dc in next st, sk 2, sc, sk 2, repeat from * around ending with sc. Sl st in base of first shell to form a circle.
Here is row 1 unjoined.

Then just slip stitch to join and form a ring that will go around your jar.

Row 2: Ch 1, continuing around opposite side of chain, sc into each around. (You should have 2 less stitches than your starting chain)

Row 3: Ch 1, sc in same, sc in next 2, *sc in front loop only of next (this means the loop that is on the inside of the circle), sc in net 3, repeat from * around ending with front loop sc in last, sl st to join.
Row 4: Ch, sc in same, sc in each around, sl st to join.

Row 5: Ch 1, sc in same, sc in next 2, *dc into exposed back loop of Row 3 sc, sk next sc (the sc above where you dc into the Row 3 back loop), sc in next 3, repeat from * around, sl st to join.
Here's how what you're doing in Row 5 will look. You're creating a little belt loop to thread a ribbon through later.
