A Koozie is basically a sweater for your beverage, and one thing I absolutely ADORE about crochet Koozies is how they absorb the condensation coming off of a glass in the heat of summer. There is nothing more annoying than having to shake the condensation off your hand while walking around with an iced beverage and these koozies take away that need! I made this pattern to fit a standard Ball Mason Jar, which just so happens to work perfectly with all the disposable iced-coffee cups I’ve come into contact with. It is larger than a glass bottle or can, But there are instructions to adjust to this size in my pattern notes.
This pattern is beginner friendly and in US terms! To follow along you will need a size 4 yarn, a size 5.5mm hook, scissors, a tapestry needle, a button, thread (I used embroidery thread) and a sewing needle. If you don’t have a tapestry needle you can weave in the ends with the hook, but it is more difficult than using a needle!
Materials
Size 4 yarn (Worsted)
Size 5.5mm (size I) hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Button
Thread
Sewing needle
Stitches and Abbreviations
CH- chain
SL- slip stitch
SC- single crochet
DC- double crochet
HDC- Half-double crochet
Pattern Notes
Chains at the start of a row do not count as a stitch.
Inside the parenthesis at the end of a row is the stitch count for that row.
If a number is before a stitch, that many stitches are worked into the same place, Ex: “2 SC” means single crochet twice into the same stitch.
If a number comes after a stitch, work that stitch across that many stitches in the previous row, Ex: “SC 2” means single crochet once into each of the next two stitches.
You can start the project off with a magic circle, but I wrote the pattern starting off with chains. TL Yarn Crafts has an amazing technique of how to do “the worlds easiest magic ring” in this video at time code 1:35 (also found in the description).
If you don’t want a button ring, simply fasten off when your Koozie at the end of Row 12.
If you want a skinnier Koozie used for can/bottle size, omit Row 4.
In Row 21, I prefer to single crochet into the chain space versus into the chain itself, but it won’t affect the project either method you choose.
