Crocheted Can Cozies
I made these can cozies several years ago and I’ll try to tell you how to make them.
You start with Worsted Weight yarn and a size H/8 crochet hook. Chain 6 and join in 1st chain to make a loop. Chain 3 then double crochet 7 times and join at the top of the chain 3 (8 dc). Next round.. chain 3 double crochet in same space. 2 double crochet in each of the next 7 spaces (16 dc). Join at the top of the chain 3. Next round… chain 3 double crochet in same space. 2 double crochet in each of the next 15 spaces (32 dc). Join at the top of the chain 3. The circle should now be the same size as the bottom of a soda can.
Next round, working in back loops only, chain 3 and double crochet in each space (32 dc). Join at the top of the chain 3. Do the same for the next 6 rounds. You can either finsh it off and leave it plan or you can get a bit fancy and chain 5 skip 3 dc single crochet all around then fasten off. Weave in the loose end.
I hope you enjoyed this crochet project as much as I enjoyed making them.

That’s fantastic! I have it on the back burner to try to figure out a fabric koozy, but you did a fabulous job!

Those are cute! I need to get back to crochet.
BTW, you might want to update your URL on Entrecard so that it doesn’t get directed to your old URL.

Re: The entrecard, I don’t think it changes for adverts already approved, so that might be where that’s coming from.
These cozies are very cute! I’d never have thought of those. I have some regular can cozies (including like 4 Izea ones lol), but I always hate how difficult it seems to be to get the can back OUT of them.
