French Josy Collection by Kayleigh's Creative World
What Is Being Made
The French Josy Collection is a crochet pattern designed to create a decorative jar cover or cozy. This project is sized to fit a jar measuring approximately 6.5cm x 15cm, making it an ideal accessory for small containers, storage jars, or decorative vessels. The finished piece combines two complementary yarn colors to create visual interest and dimension.
Craft and Techniques
This is a crochet project suitable for crafters with intermediate
The pattern incorporates several specialized crochet techniques to add texture and visual appeal:
- Back Loop Only (BLO) stitching: Working through only the back loop of stitches to create ribbed or textured sections
- Double crochet decreases (dc2tog): Combining two stitches into one to shape the fabric
- Alternative treble stitch: A decorative stitch variation created by yarning over, inserting the hook, drawing through loops in a specific sequence, and completing with a final yarn over pull-through
- Popcorn stitch: A dimensional embellishment stitch made by yarning over, inserting the hook, drawing through loops, and completing the stitch in a way that creates a raised, textured bump
Stitches Used
The French Josy Collection utilizes a range of fundamental and decorative crochet stitches:
- Chain (ch): The foundation stitch used to create the base of the project
- Single crochet (sc): A basic, tight stitch that creates dense fabric
- Double crochet (dc): A taller stitch that works quickly and creates a more open fabric
- Single crochet 2 together (sc2tog): A decrease method for shaping
- Double crochet 2 together (dc2tog): A decrease method using the taller double crochet stitch
- Alternative treble: A specialty stitch for decorative detail
- Popcorn stitch: A textured embellishment stitch
Materials and Tools
This pattern requires DK weight yarn in two colors:
- Yarn A: Paintbox Yarns Simply in Dusty Rose (color 141) — 1 skein of 100g DK weight
- Yarn B: Robin Comfy Baby DK (color 4091) — 1 skein of 100g
Additional materials and tools needed to complete the project include:
- Crochet hook: 4mm size, appropriate for DK weight yarn
- Stitch markers: Easy stitch markers to track the beginning of each round during continuous spiral construction

Pattern Notes and Terminology
The French Josy Collection pattern is written in UK crochet terminology with US terms provided in parentheses, making it accessible to crocheters in both regions. Key abbreviations include: beg (beginning), BLO (back loop only), ch (chain), dc (double crochet), dc2tog (double crochet 2 together), prev (previous), rep (repeat), rnd (round), sc (single crochet), and sc2tog (single crochet 2 together).
Important construction notes: Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round to track your position, as you will be working continuously in the round. Do not join rounds with a slip stitch unless the pattern specifically instructs you to do so. This continuous method creates a seamless fabric without visible seams at the round junctions.
