If you’re someone who goes to the trouble of making special jams and chutneys, then you’ll love this pretty jam pot cover. A lacy crochet border edging some gingham fabric looks retro and cute, and turns an ordinary looking jam jar into something special.

Our free crochet pattern shows you how to make the edging using Coats Puppets Eldorado crochet cotton. Just add your choice of gingham check fabric, or possibly even a faded floral from Tanya Whelan’s Delilah collection, and your jam is ready to go on show.
