PINT COZY
Designed by Julie Weisenberger Cocoknits is shocked, people, shocked to learn that there are households in America which do not contain a single pint cozy! How do you keep your fingers warm and your ice cream cold while eating directly out of the pint? Once you try one, you'll know this is the ultimate practical gif... forget the spa, roses, diamonds... hand someone a cozy, a spoon and pint of the good stuff. Need I say more?
Size
To fit a Ben and Jerry's pint, other pints may vary slightly: ${}^{10"}$ bottom circumference, $11.25"$ top circumference and $2\%-3"$ tall.
Skills
None. (Okay, knowing how to knit will come in handy)
Materials
Yarn
What could be better for this project than Pick Up Sticks “"small balls"? Two 65 yd balls will yield two cozies! If your LYS does not carry small balls, you can order online.
Colors
· Neapolitan Dynamite: chocolate, cream and hot pink · Cherry Garcia: cream and red · Americone Dream: chocolate and moss
Pints
2 or more Ben and Jerry's pint-sized Ice Creams, l to shape the cozies, 1 to eat; see note. Note: the pints need to be full, an empty pint container will collapse under the pressure of a damp cozy.
Needles
#10 -11 US circular needle 16" OR 36" using magic loop method.
