I hope you find yourself by the lake or sea this summer sipping your favorite frosty fizzy drink, soda. . . whatever makes you say “Aaahhh!” in the heat of the day. I designed this little cozy…coozie? I don’t know what you call it, but it will keep your hands from freezing after a dive into the icy cooler to grab a drink.
Tools and Materials:
- 5.5mm crochet hook (Size I) – I love Clover hooks
- # 4 Cotton Yarn – I used Lily Sugar ‘n Cream in “Beach Glass”
- Scissors
That’s it!
Pattern Notes:
- Fits standard 12oz canned soda, La Croix, Bubbly, adult drink, etc.
- This pattern is worked in the round, we will join each round with a slip stitch.
- Be careful to notice at the beginning of each round if you should turn your work or not. We only turn before and after rows 7 and 19 to make the triple crochet stitches bump out and create those super cute tiny bobbles!
Abbreviations:
- ch – chain
- st – stitch
- sts – stitches
- sl st – slip stitch
- sc – single crochet
- dc – double crochet
- tc – triple crochet
- scinc – single crochet increase (2 sc in one stitch)
- scblo – single crochet in the back loop only
Now, time for the Pattern!
