Sunflower Glass Cover

[jaclim]

I've been meaning to make one like this for a few months already and finally got around to making one this morning. Made with size 10 cotton thread and #7 steel hook. The doily pattern is from 101 Small Doilies #99. The beaded dangles are all glass beads. I made this for my grandma.

Very nice Jackie!

Very nice, It looks so bright and cheerful. I am sure your Grandma will love it.

Oh, is that ever neat! This probably sounds so naive of me, but I have actually never seen a crocheted glass cover before. I am really impressed by both the beautiful design, as well as the idea of this lovely cover! I really love the dangling beads. Boy, I never cease to be amazed by all the wonderfully interesting creativity of everyone here. Thank you so much for sharing your photos.

Thank you for your compliments, ladies! Actually, the idea for this came from watching a local tv series that has these beautiful crocheted items and 1 of them was this glass cover with beaded dangles. Theirs was done in all white though. I wanted one that had more color. I'm planning to make another one with a different flower this time.

Jackie, that is so pretty. I just love sunflowers!

[Turtleheart]

Great idea! I have heard of and seen some patterns for bowl covers, never thought about using the same ideas for glasses.

 

Lovely design-- I really like the dangling beads, they add a lot.

Lovely Jackie! I've never seen one before. Is this an accessory that is used at luncheons? I was wondering how it was used. Is it to keep insects out of the drink? (Sorry. I guess I don't attend many formal affairs!)

[jaclim]

Hi Roli! When I saw one of these at the tv series, they were used mainly to cover their drinks in any mealtime. Sometimes I see them use if for breakfast to cover a glass of water, then at lunch or dinner but always to cover a glass with a stem usually a glass for water. I think it's used to keep away flies as we live in a tropical clime. :-)

[Roli]

They are so pretty and I think that the beads may actually help to keep them in place. There has been more than one occasion when I accidentally almost swallowed a bee along with my drink! Thanks for the info Jackie.

[jaclim]

Oh gosh, a bee?!? You may have to make some to impress your family and guests, Roli.....you're right about the beads keeping the little doily in place. :-)))))
