FILL-UP CANDLE
Candles are suitable for every season and nearly all occasions. So why not use them as gift-boxes?
There are so many festivities you can bring small gifts to. Packed nicely they give even more joy.
Filled or not filled the candles make real eyecatchers as decorative items, too. Put LED fairy lights inside and you have an awesome mood light.
Real busy ones can make 24 of them, add numbers from 1 to 24 and get a great advent calendar!
The candle‘s height can be adjusted as needed. If you need it bigger as a whole just use heavier yarn (or work with 2 or more strands).
All steps are explained in detail in words and pictures, so this pattern is suitable for (practiced) beginners as well. This pattern contains 12 pages of crochet instructions and 14 pages of detailed step-by-step instructions.

Hello!
I'm Stephanie, mother of three and I live with my family in Germany.
I've been crocheting for a while now. My kids got me to it. When there's no merchandising on the market for the current favorit comic figure you just have to make it yourself. That's how my first crocheted figure came to life. And with that my crochet addiction. :)
My patterns are for beginners and advanced crocheters alike. Stuffed with photos and detailed step-by-step instructions (I think you could call them photo-tutorials). I learned crocheting by myself and often found it quite frustrating to get stuck in the middle of a pattern just because some key-information was simply missing (as a beginner pretty much everything is key-information). That's why in my patterns almost everything is explained with words and photos.
I'm currently converting my older patterns into a new layout. Here on Makerist you can find all the patterns that already have the new layout plus all my new creations.
Have fun browsing through my patterns and happy crocheting!
- Steph :)
