I posted on my main blog that I did a lot of cleaning this past weekend. Some of the things I did was to go through some boxes and clean out some drawers. While doing that I came across some promotional products from another company I used to work for. I promptly threw them in the trash. There was a sticker, a can cozy and a few other things.

My place looks so nice and clean now. I scrubbed floors, counters and removed spots from my carpet. I did laundry, filed a bunch of papers and cleaned bathrooms. It always feels so good to get things accomplished!

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.
