Pattern

To begin ch 28 (leave a 3-inch tail for sewing in once the cozy is finished)

Round 1: Join the last ch to the 1st ch with a sl st, ch 1 and place 1 sc in the same st. Sc in each stitch around. (28 sts) *Make sure you don’t twist the chain while doing this.

Remember to place your stitch marker in the 1st stitch of each round. This will help you keep track of when you’re starting a new round.

Rounds 2-8: Place 1 esc in the 1st st and in each st around. (28 sts)

Round 9: Place 1 sc in the 1st st and in each st around. (28 sts)

Fasten Off and Weave in Ends

When working in rounds, you end up with a slightly uneven finish when fastening off. To help make the top row a bit more even, I like to fasten off with an invisible slip stitch. This part is optional. You can fasten off using your desired method.

1. With your hook still inserted, pull up the loop a bit.

2. In the first stitch of the next round, insert your hook into the stitch from the wrong side and through to the right side of the cozy.

3. Place the loop onto the hook. Tighten the loop on the hook and pull through.

4. Fasten off a weave in the yarn.

Weaving in Bottom Tail

The bottom may also appear a little uneven. To fix this, I simply weave the tail into a few of the bottom chain stitches before fastening off.
