Make A Crochet Pint Cozy Set

Handmade pint cozies are a great thing to have in the summer, to prevent your hands from getting cold and wet.

They are super eco-friendly and can be used again and again.

Crochet ice cream cozies are not only going to look chic, but you can gift them to friends and family too!

Give as gifts to friends and family

Make a set of four or more cozies to tie with ribbon and give as a summer gift.

They can be made in any colors you like, in brights or neutrals.

I would recommend making them in 100% cotton.

You can use up those one skein wonders too from your stash, as each cozy takes up just less than 50g of yarn.

Notes

This ice cream cozy works up quickly and the simple design makes for a relaxing and enjoyable project.

You can make the cozy smaller or larger by adding rows to the circle base.

Then you can adjust the height of the cozy by making it shorter or longer in length.

All you need to do is measure the size of the ice cream tub you want to make the cozy for.

Pattern

For the base – Do not turn at the end of the round, but continue working in a spiral, with the right side (RS) always facing.

• Keep count of the sts by placing a marker (PM) on the last st of each round.
• There are no turning chains in this pattern.

The base of the cozy

• Make a 4 ch and join with an ss in the first ch to form a ring.
• Round 1: (RS) – 1 ch; 8 sc in ring (8 sts) PM (see notes)
• Round 2: 2 sc in each sc (16 sts)
• Round 3: *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc* rep from * to end. (24 sts)
• Round 4: 1 sc in each sc

To make the base larger complete a further two rounds (for a 3.5″ base)

• Round 5: *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc* rep from * to end. (36 sts)
• Round 6: 1 sc in each sc

For an even larger base complete a further 2 rounds (for a 4.5″ base)

• Round 7: *1 sc in each of next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc* rep from * to end. (48 sts)
• Round 8: 1 sc in each sc

The body of the ice cream cozy

• Next round in the base: sc all the sts into the back loop only.
• *Please note – keep the marker to denote which is the beginning/end of the round.
• Continue to work in a spiral – sc all of the sts in every round (in both loops) – until the piece measures = 4.5 inches (you can adjust the height of your cozy here).
• You can make the bag as short/tall as you want.
• Finish the last st with an ss and cut the yarn.
• Secure and weave in the ends.
• Weave in all other loose ends.

Spoon Holder/Thumb Loop

• Ch 8, turn,
• sc into every ch to the end.
• Rep row 1 – three more times.
• SS into the last st, cut yarn, and secure.

The loop should measure Height = 1 inch / Width = 2 inches.

This can then be stitched to the ice cream cozy about 1 or 2 inches from the top edge of the cozy (see photos for reference).
