pattern used -
- Bubble Frenzy Beer Cozy by Lisa Gentry
- assorted recycled cottons
- approximately 8 ply/DK weight
- used three different colours
- 4.0mm hook
- I'm not really a fan of the whole beer cozy concept... Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I don't actually drink beer!
- now that I have made it... I've decided that I quite like it... and it will fit perfectly over a bottle of Smirnoff Ice... Mmmmm.... VODKA
- I followed the pattern, but added a third colour. So I still made the colour changes in all the same places as the pattern called for, but I alternated through three colours instead of two. It seems to give the pattern a completely different look.
- totally off-topic, but is it possible to alternate between three things... or does the term ALTERNATE technically imply that there are only two possibilities???
- I also made the accompanying coaster from Lisa's pattern, and added a final trim in sc using size 20 crochet thread and a 1.25mm hook
- the coaster will live on my desk here... the perfect spot for my coffee cup

Would a water bottle fit into the cozy? With a bit of a handle to hook on wrist or belt it would be a very attractive way to carry the water we always seem to have with us now.
I like it. It kind of makes the beer bottle look whimsical, like a genie may come out of it.
The only thing that gets me about a beer cozy is that I would prefer my beer near-frozen and not warm and cozy. Huh. :) Still, looks FAB!
karen - a small one might fit... I'll have to try and see
wild woman - ohhhhh.. you are so right about that... I love your vision and imagination... I'll be looking for that genie now
jessica - too true :)
