Can Cozy Crochet Pattern
To get started, make a chain of 2 (Ch 2)
Round 1: Begin by working 6 single crochets into the second chain from the hook. This will give you a total of 6 stitches.
It is essential to place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round. This small step will help you keep track of when you start a new round, ensuring a neat and organized creation.
Round 2: Increase in each stitch around, resulting in a total of 12 stitches.
Round 3: *Increase, followed by a single crochet in the next stitch.* Repeat this sequence around to end up with 18 stitches.
Round 4: *Increase, followed by single crochets in the next 2 stitches.* Repeat this pattern around, bringing the total to 24 stitches.
Round 5: *Increase, followed by single crochets in the next 3 stitches.* Continue this sequence around, which will yield 30 stitches.
Round 6: *Increase, followed by single crochets in the next 4 stitches.* Complete this round to have a total of 36 stitches.
Round 7: Work a single crochet in the back loop only for each stitch around, maintaining 36 stitches.
Round 8: *Work one single crochet in the back loop only for one stitch, then one in the front loop only for the next stitch.* Continue this pattern around.
Round 9: *Work one single crochet in the front loop only for one stitch, then one in the back loop only for the next stitch.* Repeat this around.
Continue repeating Rounds 8 and 9 in that order until you have completed a total of 21 rounds. Should you desire a shorter cozy, you have the flexibility to shorten the number of rounds as needed.
Round 22: Place one single crochet in each stitch around. Slip stitch into the first two stitches of the following round, fasten off your yarn, and weave in any loose ends to finish your cozy.
