If you love decorating for Valentines and have a love for candles and hearts, youll love this project! An apothecary candle jar boasts a sweet cozy that has a heart cutout. And then embellished with a heart around the cutout adding beauty. And did I mention edging with post stitches to add even more elegance and texture!
Window to my Heart Candle Cozy
I began designing this heart candle cozy last year but couldn't seem to get the results I was after. I pulled the pattern out this year and was able to improve on the original design idea and hope that you enjoy this pattern and it brings joy to your holiday - and all year long! Happy Valentines!
This pattern is in text format and written in English. The candle cozy and heart are worked in the round.
These products work well for this project!
