I am looking for a pattern that is crochet with elastic yarn or thread if I can find it, but made these years ago with beads on and they stretch onto the jar or bottle, so please if anyone knows where I can find pattern would greatly appreciate.

I remember making these too. I remember sitting there and stringing all the beads on the elastic thread. I used a small piece of beading wire to create the needle to thread the beads. The bottom was a basic circle that started with chain 2 then 6 sgl cr in the 1st loop, close round with slip stitch in top of 1st sgl cr. Chain 3, dbl cr chain 1 in each of the 6 sgl crochet. Then I think I did 2 dbl cr in the ch1 space chain 1. Then I think it was 2 dbl cr in the chain 1 space chain2. I worked like this to make the flat circle the size required for the bottle. Then I made the foundation round for working up the bottle. I made the 1st round as sgl crochet, then the 2nd round as 1/2 dbl cr. At this point I started work the lacework up the side of the bottle. This was also when I started to work the beads into my stitches. The first round was chain 1, slip bead to needle, chain 2, slip bead to needle, chain 1, skip 2 stitch and sgl cr in next stitch. After that round was established I continued with the chains and beads, but sgl cr in chain 4 loop. When I got to the top of the bottle I did 3 rounds of 1/2 dbl crochet. I never had a pattern, I just started playing around with it and liked what I saw when done. I made a few of these to fit around glass votive candle holders to decorate them as gifts for my hairdresser one year.

thank you so much will try now to find the elastic, my daughter asked me to make these for her so I'm on the hunt for the supplies.

I bought elastic thread in black at Joann Fabrics last summer for a kids craft project at the campground I was working at last summer. They had black, white, silver, and gold at that store.
