Team Colors Cozy

[RunningMommy]

Being football season, I've been making everything I can think of in my favorite team's colors... GO GATORS!

Anyway, I ended up with small amounts of my orange and blue so I decided to whip up a can cozy.

This is my first pattern so please forgive me if I screwed up too badly

Materials:
- Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in your favorite team’s colors.
- “I” Hook or size needed to obtain gauge
- Yarn needle to weave in ends

Gauge:
- 1st 2 rounds = 2 ¾ inches

Special Stitches:
- Reverse Single Crochet (rev sc): At end of row, ch 1. Working backward, insert the hook into prev st, wrap the yarn over the hook and draw yarn through the stitch so there are 2 loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook again, and draw through both loops on hook.


With MC: Ch 4, join with sl st to form loop.

Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 11 dc in ring, join with sl st to top of beg ch 3. (12 dc)

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in same joining st, 2 dc in each remaining dc around, join with sl st to top of beg ch 3. (24 dc)

Row 3: Ch 3. Work in back loops only from now on… dc in each dc around, join with sl st to top of beg ch 3. (24 dc)

Row 4: Join CC: Ch 1 (counts as first sc), sk first dc, sc in each dc around, join with sl st to beg sc. (24 sc)

NOTE: I don’t bother fastening off colors at the end of each round. I just carry the other color through my stitches all the way around. Being such a small project, it really doesn’t waste that much yarn.

Row 5: With MC: rep row 3.

Row 6: With CC: rep row 4, fasten off CC.

Row 7-9: With MC, rep row 3.

Row 10: Join CC: Working in both loops, rev sc around; join with sl st to beg. Fasten off both colors. Weave in ends.

It looks great! I can't wait to try it. I love the Gator colors, too. Thanks for sharing.

Will definately try this out in some of our Australian team colours - It is only two weekends until we have AFL Finals (Australian Football) and also NRL (National Rugby League) Grand Finals.

I'm sure my boys would love to have one for the day.

I didn't read the initial post clear enough...teehee...I thought these were Broncos colors! I'll have to make one for my DH.

I love it!!! so cute and useful too!

You can't keep a good crocheter down... only got 10 feet of yarn; I can make something with that!

Nice job! I might just have to make a few for little gifts at our family Christmas Eve party. Purple and Black(Baltimore Ravens) for most of us and just one Yellow and Black (Pittsburg Steelers).

Great can cozy! I like the edging, it gives it a nice finish. Well done!
