A can cozy crochet pattern makes a stretchy ribbed sleeve sized for a standard 12-ounce can, using the same core technique as a koozie, just under a slightly different common name. Both terms are used interchangeably in pattern notes. This guide gives a quick-reference version of the pattern.
Materials and Pattern
- About 35 yards worsted weight yarn
- A 4.0mm hook, slightly smaller than typical for a snugger stretch fit
- Chain 2, work 8 hdc into the second chain from the hook, closing the ring.
- Work 3 rounds of straight hdc with no increases to form the base.
- Switch to alternating front post and back post hdc for the remaining 8 rounds to create the ribbed, stretchy body.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
