Well being that it is summer time here in Canada and kids are eating freezies like they are going out of style but whining that their hands are cold I thought why not make a cozy for the freezies to keep their little hands warm. Oh what a crazy thought that was cause now they think they can get more freezies. LOL
Making a basic Freezie cozy is quite simple both in Knit and Crochet.
With the knitted version I went ahead and did it like double knitting but you could easily change that to the magic circle or use double points. Whichever you are most comfortable with.
Here are my basic versions of the Freezie cozy wrote out with video just for all the crafters out there. I am writing these for free but if you would love to check out my other patterns just follow the links at the side of this post.
Both Patterns are written for 4 medium weight yarn and I personally used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton
Okay lets start with the knitted version.
5.5mm / US 9
Double Knitted Version
Using Long tail cast on (or preferred method of Cast on)
Cast on 6, turn
KFB all 6 stitches (12)
All Remaining rounds you will K the odd numbered stitches and Slip even numbered stitches purl wise with yarn in front till desired length.
Magic Loop/ Double point Version
Using Judy's Magic Cast on Put 6 stitches on each needle
Knit in rounds till desired length. After 1st round with DPN separated your stitches so there is even number or stitches per needle (4 needles you will have 4 per needle and with 5 needles you would have 3 per needle.
Now on to the Crocheted Version. US Terms
5.5mm / US I Hook
CH6, SC in 2nd CH from hook, SC across CH Turn, SC along other side of CH, Join with a ss to 1st SC
CH1, HDC into same stitch as SS, HDC in every SC.
HDC into top of each HDC until you get to desired length
Fasten off weave in end and keep your hands from getting cold
I do hope you and all the kids enjoy their handmade with love Freezie Cozy.
Happy Knitting and Crocheting
