Hey crafty people!!
I am so excited to post my first free blog pattern for everyone. I wish I could say that I was confident that I am going to nail this but truthfully I am terrified that this is going to be a mess. But as they say, "practice makes perfect"!! So I better get to practicing here and now. Thank you for your interest in making this adorable accessory project!! I have been making so many lighter covers lately. They work up quick and use little yarn so this is a great stash buster project!! They also make great gifts. This is not my first lighter cover pattern though. I have already designed one in the past that is "mature content" and more of a novelty type project. They made great fathers day gifts though. If you would like to take a peak at that pattern it can be purchased here for only $1!! I have plans for a few more lighter cover patterns that I cant wait to share with you all too!! ** Do not copy, sell, or distribute this pattern.
