Yarn:
I created this mushroom lighter holder crochet pattern using Lily Sugar n’ Cream cotton yarn. You don’t need much yarn to make one, so this pattern is great for using up yarn scraps!
Of course, you can substitute with any worsted-weight yarn. I especially love Lily Sugar n’ Cream because they have a variety of beautiful colors. I love pairing Lily Sugar n’ Cream solids for the stems with ombrés for the caps.
MORE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Bernat Handicrafter is a perfect substitute. It’s 100% cotton, worsted-weight, and it comes in a variety of pastel, bright, and neutral shades. This yarn is also available in ombrés!
Dishie from Knit Picks is a super close alternative. It’s 100% cotton, worsted-weight yarn that comes in a huge variety of solid colors and multicolored blends.
Paintbox Yarns Recycled Cotton Worsted is another one of my favorite substitutions. This yarn is made from 100% recycled materials and comes in a variety of gorgeous shades.

Please use caution:
Please keep in mind that yarn is flammable. This design was created for the purpose of holding lighters when they’re not in use. Therefore, please make sure to remove your lighter from the stem before igniting. Please also pass this message along to your customers, gift recipients, or anyone using your finished creations! ♡

Mushroom Lighter Holder Crochet Pattern:

Start with a magic ring

RND 2: CH 3, DC around, then SLST into the top of CH 3 to close (10)
RND 3-6: Repeat RND 2 (10)
To make strap: CH into the loop on your hook & continue to CH until the strap reaches your desired length. Then, cut the yarn & fasten off leaving a tail for assembly.
Cap:
Start with a magic ring
RND 1: CH 3, DC 15 into ring, then SLST into the top of CH 3 to close (15)
RND 2: CH 3, DC around, then SLST into the top of CH 3 to close (15)
RND 3: Repeat RND 2 (15)
RND 4: CH 1, SC around, then SLST into the top of CH 1 to close (15)
Cut yarn & fasten off. Weave in yarn tails.
Finishing Instructions:
- Attach your yarn needle to the yarn tail at the end of the strap.
- Going through the inside of the cap, pull the strap between two stitches on RND 1.
- Then, from the outside of the cap, pull the strap between two stitches on the opposite side of RND 1.
- On the stem, locate the stitch on the opposite side of the strap (you can use a stitch marker if it helps).
- Attach the end of the strap to the top of this stitch with a secure knot (use the yarn tail to create your knot). Then, weave in yarn tail & cut off any excess.
- Finally, adjust the strap as needed & tuck the stem into the cap. You’re all done! ♡
