Tape measure covers are fun and fast little projects. They invite innovation and creativity—once you have the basic retractable tape measure covered, you can think of all sorts of whimsical possibilities: animals, flowers, sweets…whatever comes to mind.

Using this pattern, you can make a wonderful little gift featuring seven rosettes on the top of your finished tape measure cover. Your fiber friends would love this gift! Also makes a great stocking stuffer.

Once you make this rosette TMC you will know how to crochet the basic cover from which to innovate. Have fun and create! Oh, and be sure to share your photos!
