My Mother in Law/second Mom requested that I make her some covers for her disinfectant wipes because they leave them out for easy access in their house. This way, they can stay out and not be an eye sore. These are great for busting your stash, as usual, and they are super simple to make! Of course, you can decorate them with any appliques you would like- the flower pattern is included.

MC- 1 oz

CC1- .5 oz

Large Eye Needle for weaving ends and applying flowers

Gauge: #7 hook & WW yarn- 16sc x 17 rows = 4" x 4"

Rounds 1- 5 should be 4.75" before moving on.

NOTE: Beginning chains do not count as stitches throughout.

I cut my colors and striped them after rounds 10, 14, & 18. I usually choose my MC by whatever I have the most of because that requires a little more, but you can use up a lot of miscellaneous balls of yarn this way.

Round 2- ch2, 2dc in join and each stitch around, join with 1st dc. (24dc)
