I HEART MEAD
C Jacquline Cappuccino of Lattes & Llamas
This cozie is not your ordinary St. Patrick's Day cozie. Instead of the obvious "I Heart Beer" or a four leaf clover, I opted to go for something a little more classic: Mead. It is a delicious honey wine that is made from fermented honey instead of grapes and has been enjoyed by Irish monks, Saints, and High Kings since the medieval times. With 14 rows of ribbing along the backside of the cozie, this will fit everything from your beer bottle to your Starbucks paper cup.
Finished Size
Directions are given for the cozie to fit most soda cans, beer bottles, or paper coffee cup. To make larger, repeat row 23 in increments of 2 rows or do the opposite to make smaller.
