Mushroom Lighter Cover Keychain Free Crochet Pattern

This is made with worsted weight yarn and an F hook. Will fit a standard Bic lighter

This is a free pattern. This will explain to you how to make your own if you already know how to crochet. If you can't crochet you can buy one in my etsy or you can use you tutorials on YouTube to learn how to crochet @crochetbybonnie 

Make sure to periodically measure your stem with a lighter to ensure your gauge matches mine. If it does not try to stitch tighter/looser as needed, go up/down a hook size, or add/subtract stitches. You want it to be snug around a lighter so it can't fall out, but still loose enough to get it on. 

White (or other color; this is the stem piece)
