It seems like knitting law: every knitter, at some point, must busy themselves with knitting little gifts for friends and family. But just how many hats, scarves, and gloves can you make? Knitted in the round and all in one piece, this quirky little number is the perfect alternative to traditional knitted gifts. It’s a quick knit--just one or two hours total--and is the perfect project to use up scraps of aran/worsted and DK yarns. It is sized to fit a 22 oz bottle, but the pattern could easily be adjusted to fit a traditional 12 oz bottle.

Oh, and did I mention it actually keeps beer cold? That’s right, it kept my beer cold for 2 hours! So round up some scrap yarn, buy some beer, and surprise someone special with a silly yet useful gift.
