Can cozy with a Loop

Can Cozy Instructions

Designed to keep your hands dry as you nurse an ice cold soda, beer, or for the healthy folks, bottled water.


•Yarn: 35yd/32m of worsted-weight 100% cotton
•Tools: set of 4 #6(4mm) dpn's, yarn needle, and optional 4mm crochet hook
•Gauge: 4.25 sts/inch over fully stretched ribbing
•CO 36 sts and distribute over 3 dpn's, 12 stitches each.
•Join in the round, and work in ribbing of choice (1x1, 1x2, 2x1, 2x2 are all dandy) until your tube is 4 inches long.
•Purl 1 round, then decrease as follows:
•*K4, K2tog* rep to end of rnd
•K even 1 rnd
•*K3, K2tog* rep to end of rnd
•K even 1 rnd
•*K2, K2tog* rep to end of rnd
•K even 1 rnd
•*K1, K2tog* rep to end of rnd
•K even 1 rnd
•*K2tog* rep to end of rnd
•Cut yarn, leaving an 8" tail, thread through last 6 sts, draw up tightly and secure, then weave in ends.
•Optional hanging loop: Use the leftover cast on tail or join new yarn to cast on edge with a crochet slip stitch. Crochet a chain for 2" or so, then join with a slip stitch to the base of the first chain to form a loop. Fasten off, weave ends. Attach to a clip, keyring, or whatever you desire. Or crochet a super long chain - 24 inches or so - secure it to the opposite edge, to hang the cozy on your neck.

These are a nice addition to my cup cozys.
When I find the patterns i will post coffee cup warmers and ice tea coasters.
