Pattern Notes:
This cozy takes about 2 hours. This pattern is not difficult for anyone who has already knitted in the round and has had experience with fair isle. Gauge is somewhat important so your cozy fits an actual can! Please note that different charts have different row counts and it’s because of the pattern of the chart would give a slightly different gauge. Having a can nearby for accurate height measurement is highly suggested!

Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn in colors for desired chart/look.
Tapestry needle, stitch marker, soda pop can nearby to ensure height accuracy
Gauge:
17.5 sts + 27 rows = 4 inches/10 centimeters in stockinette stitch, finished cozy will measure around 5” x 4.5”
