Crochet Patriotic Can Cozy

Hi friends,

Summer is almost here! Backyard barbecues, picnics, lounging on the porch or by the pool are all just around the corner. You’ll want to whip up a few of these Crochet Patriotic Can Cozies to help keep your drinks cold and absorb the condensation. They will be perfect for your July 4th celebrations!

The rows of bobble stitches add some fun and texture. I made my cozies in USA colors, but of course you can make them in any color you choose! They would be great in school or team colors – or even just one solid color.

I used I Love This Cotton yarn and an H/5mm hook to stitch up my cozies. You’ll find my free pattern below. (These are nice hooks if you are looking for new ones.)
