I love anything that helps me be organized. One thing that has been bothering me lately is getting cotton balls. Kind of a stupid thing to bother me but it does. I decided, instead of having to go in my cupboard every time to grab the little piece of cotton, I was going to keep it by my makeup holder. Now I just needed something to put them in. Searching around the house for a container I could use, I came across an old candle. Remembering THIS previous post my sister did, I EASILY removed the old wax. It was exactly what I was looking for. Now to make the cover....
WHAT I DID:
I used a size 6mm hook.
Chain 4.
Slip stitch into 1st chain.
Ch 1, work 6 sc into center- 7 stitches
Ch 2, work dc in same stitch. *2 dc in every stitch* slip stitch top of ch 2.- 14 stitches
Ch 2, work dc in same stitch. *2 dc in every stitch* slip stitch top of ch 2.- 28 stitches
Change colors
Ch 1, sc in every stitch. Slip stitch top of ch 1.- 28 stitches
Ch 2, dc in same stitch, dc in next stitch, dc2tog * dc in next 3 stitches, dc2tog in next stitch* repeat until end. Slip stitch in top of ch 2.-23 stitches.
Ch 2. dc in next stitch, dc in every stitch. Slip stitch top of ch 2.
Fasten off. Weave in tail.

So creative! :) How big is this lid? Does it stretch to fit various sizes or would I have to adjust the number of stitches somewhere?
