Jar Cozy with Pattern

I haven't done much crocheting recently. I'm still under the weather, currently awaiting a tooth extraction tomorrow morning. Ugh. But here's another pattern I originally posted in July 2012. Enjoy and I hope to have something new for you next week. Right now I'm off to grab another ice pack and my lovely tube of Orajel.

** SC = Single Crochet

** SS = Slip Stitch
