This crochet Iris Stitch Tealight Holder is made with 3-ply linen yarn. The yarn is available on Etsy in many different shops and if you like experimenting with different yarns and like yarns from natural materials, I can definitely recommend getting some. It is great for all sorts of decorations as well, including snowflakes, hearts and stars.
The instructions given here will work if you use the 3-ply yarn. If you want to use thicker yarn you can adapt the pattern by reducing or increasing the number of chains by multiples of 4 until it fits around your chosen glass . I used to use glasses from the Basic range at John Lewis, but they are no longer available. Their diameter is 7.3 cm.
Please remember that this is my design and my copyright. You’re most welcome to use the pattern for yourself, but please do not copy, reproduce, translate or publish it as your own. If you sell what you make or post pictures of your makes I would appreciate if you mention where you got the pattern and direct people to my site. Thanks!

It takes me a long time to design these patterns and to write them out. I have decided to keep my site ad-free, so if you like my patterns I’d be very happy if you would consider making a small donation towards the cost:
I hope you enjoy making this pattern! I would love to see your versions, so you can tag me on Instagram or add it as a project on Ravelry. You can also send it to me on Facebook.
Happy making!
