[Sonny321]

I whipped these up this morning as gifts to my son's teachers. They were quite simple to come up with and very quick to make. I can write up instructions if any one is interested.

excellent gift idea - something to make a few extra and have on hand for quick-needed presents! I'd love to try the pattern too . :D

I think those are great. I'm on a total candle kick right now. We're coming into winter here and it's my ghetto version of having a fireplace in the house like back home. :D

Nice job!

ooh! Thanks for posting that! I love them. I am super paranoid about candles as my mom in law's house burned down because of one on Christmas Eve and I would have to remove them while burning the candles but I think they are so so pretty and I can't wait to make some! You are so nice to share the pattern:)

[sem464]

:hug Thank you soo much for the pattern. I have already snagged it.:yay

[TepperWear]

Oh those are fantastic. I'm moving soon and those will look great in my new place!! That wasn't a hint :blush . Thanks so much for the pattern. I'm psyched.

[clearwaters]

Please be safe and keep in mind that flame and yarn are not a good mix.

[TepperWear]

I just made one. I love it. I'm thinking I might buy some ribbon to tie a bow. This is a fabulous little gift. Thanks again.

[Sonny321]

Oh I wanna see it! I'm glad I typed it out, I went to start one for a care package to my brother this afternoon, and forgot how I started the blasted thing :lol

[TepperWear]

Does anyone know if there is something that could be sprayed on the yarn to make it flame retardant?

[Nashville Crocheter]

Thank you for posting the pattern. I am printing it out now. :clap

[Sonny321]

Does anyone know if there is something that could be sprayed on the yarn to make it flame retardant?

Not that I am aware of, however if people trim the wicks and Don't leave them burning unattended, they should be safe. On the ones I made for me, the yarn ends below the rim of the candle, and by tying the tie in the 4th row of v - stitches it makes the scalloped edge lay below the rim too.

I love those!
