Easy Crochet Can Cozy Pattern
There’s nothing better than sitting and watching the sunset by the beach while having a delicious cold beer or cider – especially when your crochet cozy is keeping your hands from getting cold and wet.
It’s become a weekend tradition around here and every Friday and Saturday, we’ll find our group of friends slowly sauntering down to the beach after dinner. We all bring our lawn chairs and cheers our drinks as we watch the sun slowly sink down behind the trees on the opposite side of the lake.
Ahhh, lake life is the best life.
Now if you’re going to have a few beverages, why not have crochet cozy’s around the cans to prevent your hands from getting chilly and damp. My first cozy pattern turned out so well, soon I was getting requests from all my friends to crochet can cozy’s for them too.
This is a really easy crochet project that you can complete in under an hour. You can keep it plain or spruce it up with different colors and stripes if you’d like. You have the power to customize this simple crochet pattern as you see fit.
Easy Crochet Can Cozy Pattern
NOTES: Pattern in U.S. crochet terminology
SKILL LEVEL: EASY/INTERMEDIATE
MATERIALS:
- Hook: U.S. 10/J 6.0mm
- Medium size 4 – Bernat Maker Yarn (approx. 60 yards)
- Stitch Markers
- Tapestry Needle & Scissors
ABBREVIATIONS:
- st = stitch
- ch = chain
- sl = slip stitch

- dc = double crochet
PATTERN:
Ch4 – join
Round 1: Ch3, 11dc into the circle, join with a sl st.
Round 2: Ch3, 2dc into each st, join with a sl st.
Round 3: Ch1, *1sc in the next 3 st, 2sc in the next st*, repeat around the circle, join with a sl st.
Round 4: Ch1, 1sc in each st around, join with a sl st (use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds).
Round 5 – 16: Repeat row 4 changing colors to make whatever design you prefer. Bind off and weave in ends.
Have fun with colors and creating stripes – change colors as you see fit. You can add stripes with a row of slip stitches once all the rows are complete (as I did in the blue and turquoise cozy).

thanks to OP for writing out a free pattern for everyone to use! lovely colour combination, too.

Naomi
October 25, 2019 at 8:30 PM (2 years ago)Chain 3 times, double crochet 11 times, slip stitch
Beth
November 1, 2019 at 6:42 AM (2 years ago)ch3 means chain 3
11 dc means 11 double crochet
sl st is slip stitch
I hope this helps. I have crocheted since I was 9 years old and I am not 54. You can always google crochet abbreviations to see what they mean. Most of the time they are universal. Happy crocheting!
AmberWhat a fantastic free pattern! I’m still pretty much a novice and this is the best one I’ve followed yet! Thank you so much

May 8, 2021 at 7:59 AM (9 months ago)Hi everyone! I really enjoy this pattern! As a beginner and having started making koozies from a much more difficult pattern, I personally find it helpful to count the stitches. I also started my base with a magic circle so found it necessary to make 12 dc in the circle then followed the pattern exactly to end up with 30 stitches around. For other beginners, the most common mistake I constantly make is mistaking the slip stitch on the previous round as an actual stitch. Which is why counting is crucial for me. Last tip for this pattern is on round 4 to use the back stitch to sc into. I’ve done it both ways now but I prefer this method. It makes the koozie curve upward separating the base from the sides. Thank you for the fun and easy pattern!!!

December 4, 2021 at 6:31 PM (2 months ago)IDoes the ch3 count as a DC? If so, I assume that at you sl st into the top of the ch3. That gives 12 DC for the first round. The 2nd round would have 24 DC. THE 3rd round does not work out if this is the case. HELP.
