Crochet a Can & Bottle Cozy

[@tanalee09]

Tutorials like this are gifts that keep on giving. At 65 years old, watching this in 2015, I just crocheted my first project ever. Woot! Great job! Thanks so much!

[@madeleinemcinnes8551]

This was honestly the best tutorial I’ve seen really well explained! Thank you so much.

[@robinlemon3187]

I love these. I am a volunteer at a camp for abused and neglected kids and me and 2 others are making these for the kids. We are putting a strap on them so the kids can wear them around. Thank you so much for making the instructions easy for a newby crocheter.

[@sazzoray]

Hi, I used your idea for the can/bottle cozy using black, white & red yarn to make a Santa cozy for wine bottles topping it off with a separate tiny Santa hat with beard on the top of the bottle. It made for a great way to dress wine bottles at Christmas for friends making them more fun. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@annabella1955]

Thank you for another wonderful tutorial. I've been following you for some projects and now with this tutorial I got to see how you look like. I send you regards from Guatemala, Central America.

[@THESHOMROM]

I absolutely love it when a lesson can be applied to more than one application. This is great. Thank you.

[@TheAncientuniverse]

This video has been very helpful to me. You have taught me how to crochet and I greatly appreciate it.

[@LifecoachSandra]

Thanks-So much! I will see if I can follow this, once I get my yarn, etc. I have not crocheted since back in the 1980's and then just a couple things, one being (my first, actually--back in 1972) a shell stitch that I used to make a shawl for myself when I was pregnant with my yongest daughter. Someone showed me that stitch & I made the whole thing with it. Your video looks like I can follow it, and I really Do appreciate it.

[@radhavishwanath4213]

Thank you Beth.Ur explanation for this project is easy to understand. Can u do more crochet tutorials

[@Machru]

Thanks for a very clear and good tutorial! You do it so well; not too slow and not too fast. And you take the time to explain all the little things we might meet on the way. Excellent camera! (Something so many miss the importance of). :-)

[@Bethintx1]

Yes! You sure can! I would make the strap go all the way around the bottom and back up if you are using a 1 liter bottle.

[@annmarycharles5582]

Thanks! This is so nice, and I like how the natural spaces between the dc stitches make it look like a mesh, on mine. I have used it on a Mason jar, and finished the top with one row of hdc and then one row of sc. This drew it in just enough to give a nice fit. Some contents, like loose tea, should not be exposed to a lot of light, and that is why I have made the cover!

[@mariteri15000]

Hi, Beth! Thanks so much for the pattern. I just did it adding a handle to it that closes the top of it when it's carried. True, it ended up being bigger than the bottle of water, but I figure that what with all the different sorts of water bottles out there that I'm pretty much set! Thanks again and take care.

[@MsGhost87]

Thank you for the simple tutorial! My father in law uses those cheap foam can cozies & they get dirty & thin out after a while. So, I'm thinking I will make him a cotton cozy. That way it can be washed! Thanks again 😊 Happy #Crochet my fellow Crafters 🧶

[@MaeChicken]

Love this. I did mine with a half double stitch though. Worked great! Thanks for making this video!

[@Kirnee06]

I made my first crochet project- the bottle cozy, thanks to you!!

[@Bethintx1]

@craftytinker1 I do turn it to the left. I don't see what you are talking about.

[@Bethintx1]

@craftytinker1 No I do not. you can ask her. She may not have a tutorial. I know she places them on hats though.

[@ElfMyst]

Thank you!! I have been wanting to learn how to make these. I am a beginner and this looks like something I could easily do.

[@williambrown-xi1uj]

you made this so simple i love it, been trying for two days without any help.

[@sherrymulligan6439]

Thank you so much you made this so easy to make! I really enjoy your style of crochet.

[@Bethintx1]

@craftytinker1 OVW does have the tutorial. It's titled Tutorial Tuesday 10! (Lettering) I added the link to the description of this video.

[@stellamata2481]

Love your tutorial. Very east to follow. Will be making some.

[@brendamcchristy6044]

Thank you so much, sweet lady, for the cute and easy tutorial.

[@Bethintx1]

@britt1958 I say what in the description...Medium worsted weight cotton.

[@maxinevoteerobinson6872]

Thank you so much. I especially like the way you do the slip knot.

[@annaduvall4106]

Thank you Beth! I'm gonna make a hand full of these for my husband for christmas

[@aliciavoegele6444]

Thank you making one for husband for valentines gift 😁

[@ashleymchale2129]

Can someone please tell me why my attempt kept getting wider? Looks more like a baby hat now. I am a newbie, and this was my first 3 dimensional attempt. Not sure what I am doing wrong. (But im going to keep trying! Even if I get 10 baby hats!!! ;D )

[@aissapaul2112]

perfect! I made one the first try in no time! my brother loves it

[@Bethintx1]

@sbgurl82 absolutely!

[@MollyEadie]

Love this! I just learned how to crochet and this is easy enough for me to do :) thank you!

[@Bethintx1]

See description below the video for this sort of information. In this case it is an I/9 (5.5mm) hook.

[@KSOCrochet]

I have been looking for a good tutorial for a while! Thank you!!

[@theresasills2993]

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! Could you please send the link to the video for the initials plz

[@virginiablackwell3338]

Thank you for this simple pattern as I was looking for something like this. Now how can I make a long strap on this so I can give to some that's in an wheel chair??

[@Bethintx1]

Virginia Blackwell I would simply crochet a chain the length of the strap and then add enough to go around the bottom of the piece and back up the other side. Sc about 6 rows and sew it in place on the bottom and where the top of the carrier is just before the bottle curves inward.

[@kulleysimerson9412]

+Bethintx1 could we use any type of yarn for this tutorial

[@kulleysimerson9412]

+Bethintx1 thank you the video is kind of fast though

[@sherbertandjc]

[@jacquelynrobledo1619]

I’m excited to make my first bottle holder I have a lot of yarn to use unfortunately it’s not cotton. I want to add a wrist strap, which is extremely useful, how can I add one on ? Thanks for this video it’s very helpful for us beginners

[@mariefeir5596]

Was looking for an easy beginner cozy making a football themed raffle basket and saw your red white and blue which is colors I’m using GO BILLS lol

[@2females1male]

[@christinanielsen7456]

Awsome instruction!! Thanks so much...gonna try one tomight!! You r a great teacher!

[@criseldasuaring4663]

hope you can make a tutorial for glass holder and cover

[@angelitahill2617]

I love this pattern!! Thank you so much for sharing.. I am having a little problem with the top of the cozy coming out wider and lose more so than the rest do you have any suggestions to help me keep it even besides the elastic..Thank you so much. God Bless

[@Bethintx1]

Angelita Hill You can do a couple of rounds of single crochet and decrease every few stitches,

[@angelitahill2617]

Bethintx1 Thank you so much.

[@sarahbarton4977]

how can I do one with elastic at the bottom I'm making this for a boy with autism please thank you so much

[@Bethintx1]

Sarah Barton instead of beginning with with a loop, work your stitches into a 1-inch hair elastic. Work round 2 into the hair elastic, making 18 dc into the elastic. resume with the 3rd round.

[@sandrakohl1878]

So, when you are working up is it always 24 stitches?

[@biancagonzalez939]

Hi! Do you have the pattern in text? Ie 10 single stitches etc? I watched the video and it was soo great and I’d like to make another without referring to the video!

[@BrownEyedBeauty2008]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial!! I have been looking everywhere for one. I'm making my boyfriend a beer cozy. Thanks again!! :)

[@delisyus]

Hi... do you think this pattern is strong enough for me to crochet a strap to it? I want something for my sons' water bottles :)

[@sonjacigelske7358]

How do you put the elastic band in at top?

[@misslonelyp]

hi.. i am a beginner.. i am making a can cozy, i would like to add my initials on the cozy, but i dont know how to do it.. will you please help me.. pleaseee....

[@lindavalley3573]

[@ashleyblankenship9250]

[@priyathulasiram8126]

Thanks for your deep explanation mam

[@christinanielsen7456]

Sorry to bother you but I was trying to send you a picture of the can cozy that I made with your instruction... just wanted you see my first one! how do I send u a picture?

[@caribeth1180]

Beth, just curious and this is probably a dumb question, but can you use acrylic yarn or does it need to be cotton? Thanks! (ps, my Entrelac blanket is going great! I can't believe I'm doing it and all I have ever done before is the sampler scarf!)

[@ctaggy2010]

[@roseculp2924]

I think I like it better than the crab stitch! Thank you.

[@Transitlady59]

Thank you. Great teacher and thank you for all the fun ideas :)

[@danalewis6148]

Help.. when I crochet up the remaining 10 or so rows my Cozy starts to stretch out getting wider the higher I go. Any suggestions?

[@GlenRoseGran]

Wonderful teacher, very clear video and thank you

[@janeclermon83]

does it stay secure on

[@rosegiacomazzo7572]

Terrific. Your tutorial was great too. Thank you.

[@YoungBlackNatural]

What type of yarn is best to use?

[@harley1200rdr]

My bottom keeps curly up. How do I keep it flat?

[@luvstocrochet]

Great tutorial.. I will be making theses for gifts!!

[@marlap1566]

Nice tutorial! Thanks.

[@virginiablackwell3338]

Ok if I understand this!! Make a chain from the inside it turns at the bottom and attach it there as well as the top

[@Bethintx1]

Virginia Blackwell not quite. Make it go around the outside and around the bottom. Let me see if I can find a picture.

[@Bethintx1]

Virginia Blackwell basically make a separate piece about an inch wide. and the length you want the strap to be plus the height of the bottle. Sew it into a loop, and sew the seam of the loop on the bottom of the carrier. then sew the strap down at the top of the carrier as well.

[@kulleysimerson9412]

+Bethintx1 could I use a j/10-5.75MM crochet hook

[@Bethintx1]

Yes!

[@Twilly24382]

Thankyou for an easy to follow, fantastic tutorial for a newbie crocheter:)

[@kkbaker756746]

Merci. Good teacher!

[@Bethintx1]

@geetartabi Are you talking about on You Tube? Or Facebook? You Tube, if you make a video or a slide show, you can post it as a response and put Bethintx1 in the tags. if you are on Facebook, it would be Elizabeth Ham.

[@SherryW1978]

[@sanjukoshykoshy5932]

[@Athomewithkaylee]

This was awesome! Thanks so much! +bethintx1

[@Gorakhparki]

thanks really pretty

[@beverleeperezgeorgette1951]

Love it

[@heathersmith8183]

I followed this tutorial and I thought it was good until I tried to complete one. It was horrible. My coozie turned into a hat. Very disappointed. I think you missed video taping some steps.

[@ksrw1111]

why perferably cotton?

[@Bethintx1]

Cotton will absorb the moisture when the bottle has condensation and it will not stretch too much. You can use other fibers if you like.

[@ksrw1111]

Bethintx1 ty for replying i got some solid cotton yarn on order my michaels up here is not doing any justice for me lately so i went else were to get my yarn they never carried any solid colors so thats why the question if i can do this in any other yarn. soon as i finnish up 180 chain round shawl ill be doing those as i got some orders from ppl in person lol but 1 project at a time or ill never finnish lol! thanks for your tutorials!!

[@caribeth1180]

Hooray! Thanks Beth!!! :) (caribeth80)

[@gshanked8598]

Great mom but your just slow and starting

[@magencarothers2213]

Thank you for the tutorial but as a noob, you are going far too fast for me to understand the stitches.

[@bullmastiffbully]

[@alishajackson4482]

Great tutorial, thank you!
