Slim can size will fit a standard 12 oz, tall, skinny, seltzer style can.
Measures about 6.5″ tall.
Regular can size will fit a standard 12 oz can. Measures about 4.75″ tall.
Ch 1 at the beginning of each round does not count as a st.
If you begin with a ch4 ring instead of a magic circle, carry the tail under the dcs so that you can cinch your circle closed when finished.
For this pattern, you will work in the round. At the end of each round, you will sl st, change color (optional), ch1, and turn your work.
I recommend using a st marker to mark your first and last st.
For this st pattern, you will be doing a sc in the previous row dc, and a dc in the previous row sc.
If you are using more than one color, do not cut your yarn after each row. Drop your yarn when you switch colors and pick it back up when you are ready to use it again.
If your tension is loose, size down your crochet hook.
