This simple crochet chapstick holder is one of the most functionable things I’ve ever made and one of my most favorite designs. Using cotton yarn and a smaller hook to maintain a tight gauge, it will last forever and keep your chapstick safe. I encourage you to make one for all your friends! I hope you enjoy this pattern ;)
Materials:
15 yards of WeCrochet Dishie or any other worsted weight cotton yarn
Size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook
One key ring
Scissors
Yarn needle
Ruler to check gauge
Gauge:
In order to ensure that the Chapstick tube fits snuggle into its holder, I suggest achieving the recommended gauge.
6 sts and 6 rows = 1 inch in single crochet
Pattern Notes:
Follow the video tutorial here: https://youtu.be/l_u6vXGx5Sk

Because of how small this holder is, I recommend weaving in the starting tail within the first couple of rounds, instead of waiting till the end of the project.
This holder is worked in a spiral, do not slip stitch unless directed to.
To attach the key ring: after you make the chain, slide the key ring through the chapstick holder from bottom to top, and onto the chain.
