CROCHET TERMS USED // ABBREVIATIONS GUIDE
(US terminology):
Below are basic explanations of the crochet terms
used in this pattern.
- CHAIN (ch) With a loop on your hook, yarn over from back to
front and pull the loop through - STITCH (st)
- MAGIC RING (mr) Wrap yarn over two fingers twice forming an
X. Place the hook under the first piece of yarn and then
over the second piece of yarn. Pull the outer strand of yarn
under the first strand of the X forming a loop. Yarn over
once more and draw the yarn through both loops. Work the
appropriate number of stitches into the loop by inserting
the hook into the main circle space onto the other side,
yarning over and pulling through the space in the middle,
yarn over the hook and pull through both loops on the
hook. Once you have crocheted the number of stitches
required, pull the short bit of string to tighten the ring - SINGLE CROCHET (sc) Insert your hook into a stitch, yarn over
(I prefer to pull the yarn through with my hook on top of
the yarn to create a X effect), pull the yarn through (two
loops on the hook), yarn over once more and pull the yarn
through both loops - SLIP ST (slst) Put your hook through the stitch, yarn over, pull
through the stitch, and then pull the yarn through the loop
on your hook - INCREASE (inc / dc inc) Work 2 single crochets / or 2 double
crochets into the same stitch - INV DECREASE (dec) Insert your hook under the front loop of
the first stitch, and then under the front loop of the second
stitch. Yarn over and pull through both front loops. Yarn
over and pull through the remaining loops
HALF DOUBLE CROCHET (hdc) Yarn over the hook before going
into a stitch. Once you yarn over, insert your hook into the
stitch, yarn over and pull through. You should have 3 loops
on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the
hook.
BACK LOOP ONLY (BLO) Work the required stitch in the back
loop of the stitch and not both loops
FRONT LOOP ONLY (FLO) Work the required stitch in the front
of the stitch and not both loops

fasten off, instead, continue:
Rnd 18: 12 sc, now, sc into the marked stitch of
leg 1 to join them FIGURES 3 & 4. Continue
working into leg 1 with an additional 35 sc,
work the next sc back into leg 2 in the next
available stitch (the 13th stitch), then work an
additional 24 sc back to where you started. (72)
Your legs should now be joined together, and
we will continue to form the body.
Tip: Once the body is formed, you may find there are
gaps between the legs. Use a scrap piece of yarn in
yellow to sew together any gaps formed, and weave in
the yarn tail.

between each eye. Using black embroidery thread, sew a
line down from the nose to round 24. FIGURE 11

head together. Make sure you are happy with the stuffing
before completing. FIGURES 12 & 13

rounds 39-40. The arms should sit slightly behind the
antennae when looking at the arms from the side.

between rounds 39-40. Make sure you only sew the
pinched tip of each wing to the body, and leave the rest.

Cut out a small piece of cardboard and place it inside
the jar so it sits on the base of the work. This will help
the jar maintain its shape. If you plan on washing this
item, I recommend you use plastic or don’t add it.
Stuff the work and continue throughout. FIGURE 18

Fasten off leaving a small yarn tail. With your needle
and yarn tail, weave the yarn through the front loops
of the remaining stitches, and pull tight to close.
Weave in the yarn tail.
JAR FRILLS
Use white
With the base of the jar facing away from you, reattach
your white yarn to the last front loop of round 16.
FIGURE 19. Once attached, sc in the same stitch where
you just joined the yarn, then complete 3 hdc into the
next st, sc, slst. Continue this pattern through the front
loops: (sc, 3 hdc into the same st, sc, slst) x6 (total
times).
Slst to the beginning sc, fasten off and weave in the
yarn tail.
Decoration IDEAS:
Weave rose yarn above the stitches of the frill, and tie
together to add some detail FIGURE 20. Embroider the
word ‘honey’ onto the jar. FIGURE 21
