Fresh Seltzer Cozy - Free Cozy Crochet Pattern

I truly love creating cozies for many reasons:

• They are a quick project and you an make a lot of them in a short time frame (great for craftfairs)
  
• You never have to worry about ring marks on your favorite tables
• You can make them in any color and will always look great!

Lets get into this fun pattern! This is considered a beginner level pattern and should take an hour or less which is great if you want to create a bunch!

Notes:

1. For this pattern, make sure to work in continuous rounds which will result in no visible seams. Do not slip stitch after each round. 
2. The specific yarn used for this Fresh Seltzer Cozy was the
   Tool Bench Hardware Cotton Twine
3. The tags are from IdahoTaylorMade Chestnut Faux Leather Tag .85" x 2.75"
4. This pattern is for personal use only. Please do not sell this pattern as your own. Please feel free to sell the finished item and do give credit to Fresh Cut Yarn.
