Quick, Eco-Friendly Crochet: Make a Ramekin Cover

If you’re after a quick and satisfying crochet project, the Starflower ramekin cover crochet pattern is a lovely one to try.

This lacy little cover transforms a simple glass ramekin or pudding pot into something beautiful – ideal as a table centrepiece, a tealight holder, or a trinket dish. It takes about an hour to make, so it’s perfect for an evening project or a last-minute gift.

It’s not just pretty – it’s eco-friendly too. If you’ve got empty glass dessert pots tucked in the cupboard, this is a brilliant way to reuse them. Instead of heading straight for the recycling bin, turn them into a piece of crochet home decor you’ll actually want to keep on display.

The pattern fits ramekins around 8cm wide and uses just 21 metres of DK cotton yarn, a 2.5mm hook, and a small elastic band. Once you’ve finished, pop it over the ramekin, add a tealight, and enjoy the soft, floral shadows. Or use it as a sweet catch-all dish for jewellery or keepsakes.

Whether you’re making for a gift, market prep, or your own home, the Starflower crochet pattern makes a thoughtful, handmade touch with a gentle, timeless feel.

Why it’s a favourite:
– Works up in about an hour
– Great for using up yarn leftovers
– Reuses glass ramekins or pudding pots
