Crochet your own checkered cozy for a standard 12oz can or bottle.

Skill level: Intermediate because of the color changing and working with two colors at once, which can be challenging to a beginner crocheter. However, the stitching itself is pretty basic. I do show how to do it step by step, including pictures along the way, to make it as easy and clear as possible.

Before you begin, you will need:
Crochet hook H8/5mm
Worsted weight yarn, preferably cotton, but any will do.
Yarn needle and scissors for finishing off and weaving in ends.

And you’ll need to know how to:
Single crochet
Chain
Slip Stitch
Magic Circle

Once you’ve mastered these basic crochet stitches, my pattern will show you how to use these stitches to make the cozy, including how to switch between the two colors, plus my tips, tricks, notes, and pictures every step of the way.
