What Materials Are Needed For This Project?
To make this Football Can Cozy by Sue Harnach, prepare medium-weight yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook. Red Heart Soft (Heathers & Solids) is a great option, but you can of course go for any other yarn you like.
You will need one skein of brown yarn and a small amount of white. Depending on whether you want to personalize your project with a fun facial expression, you may use small bits of black.
The pattern also requires stuffing, so be sure to get some polyester fiberfill before you begin.
What Size Can Does The Football Cozy Fit?
The finished crochet cozy is 9.5” (24 cm) wide and 4” (10 cm) tall when made with recommended materials. These dimensions make it a perfect fit for 12-oz. soda cans. Put your drinks inside the cozy so they stay cold longer while you can enjoy watching the game
What Crochet Stitches Will You Use?
