You know I love a good stash buster project and today I have a really quick and cute one to share! Made with sock weight yarn, this napkin ring holder has a simple and rustic vibe that works up quickly and is a great way to add a handmade touch to your table.
You can easily customize it by adding or decreasing the row repeat to accommodate a thinner or thicker napkin. You could also add some pop by making the flower in a different colour. And although this pattern is geared towards sock weight yarn, it’s simple enough to adjust if you wanted to try making it in a DK or worsted.

– Gauge is not important for this pattern
– Laying flat, the finished napkin ring measures approximately 5 x 1 ½ inches

Materials Needed:
– Approximately 11 yards of sock weight yarn. I used Point Prim Sock Yarn from Fleece and Harmony in the “Autumn Birch” colourway
– 3mm hook
– Yarn needle
– Scissors
– Measuring tape
Stitches:
SK – Skip Stitch
CH – Chain
SS – Slip Stitch
HDC – Single Crochet

Pattern:
CH 11
Row 1:
Into the 2nd CH from your hook and each CH stitch across, place 1 HDC. CH 1 and turn.
(10 HD stitches)
Rows 2-20:
Into the first stitch and each stitch across, place 1 HDC. CH 1 and turn.
(10 HDC stitches)
Row 21:
Into each of the first 4 stitches, place 1 HDC. CH 2 and SK 2 stitches. Into each of the last 4 stitches, place 1 HDC. CH 1 and turn.
(8 HDC stitches, 2 CH stitches = 10 stitches)
Row 22: (when you reach the CH 2, make your HDC into the CH stitches, not into the CH 2 space)
Into the first stitch and each stitch across, place 1 HDC. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
(10 HDC stitches)
Flower Accent:
Begin with a magic circle OR CH 3 and SS into the first CH to make a circle. Work all stitches into your circle.
*CH 2, 2 DC, CH 2 and SS into the circle. * Repeat from * to * 4 more times for a total of 5 petals. Tighten the centre loop and fasten off leaving a long tail for attaching.
Assembly: (photo A)
Lay your rectangle flat so that the button-hole is on the left. Attach your flower on the opposite end (in the middle of the 3nd row) with a tight knot or two and trim the ends. Roll your napkin up, wrap the rectangle around and pull the flower through the button-hole to secure in place.
Great job! Your napkin ring is complete. For more fun and creative designs, be sure to check out the Free Pattern section of my blog. Ad free, printer friendly versions can be found in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. Happy Crocheting!
