I Love You Can Cozy Crochet Pattern

Crochet this thoughtful, personalized Valentine’s gift or Anniversary present for that special someone in your life…it’s a crochet gift idea that will be loved and actually used!

The pattern (below):

  • Includes full written instructions for the pattern and a chart/graph
  • Is a great introduction to colorwork for beginners, only requires knowledge of how to single crochet, chain stitch, slip stitch and read a pattern.
  • Also great for more advanced crocheters who love colorwork (but experience with colorwork is not required)

Worried this is too advanced? It’s actually super easy…you CAN do it!!! (sorry, couldn’t myself!)

If you’re new to colorwork or want a refresher, I would recommend reading my guide or watching my video tutorial on How to Crochet with Two Colors.

This I Love You Can Cozy Croceht Pattern is written in English for right-handed crochet using standard US crochet terminology. If you’re more familiar with UK terminology, check out my US to UK Conversion Chart.

Bottom of Can Cozy

Before beginning, please ensure to measure your can to ensure it’s 12 fl. oz / 355 ml. 

With your MC and H/8 hook, create a magic ring/circle.

Round 1: Sc 11 times into magic ring/circle. Pull tight. (11 sc) Join with a sl st in 1st sc. Do not turn.

Round 2: ch 1. 2 sc into first st (the same st where you joined), 1 sc into next st. Repeat: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st* until there is one st left. 2 sc in last st. (17 sc). Join with a sl st in 1st sc. Do not turn.

Round 3: ch 1. 2 sc in first st (the same st where you joined), sc in next 2 sts. Repeat: *2 sc in next st, sc in next 2 sts* around until there are 2 stitches left. 2 sc in next. st. 1 sc in last st. (23 sc). Join with a sl st in 1st sc. Do not turn.

Round 4: ch 1. 2 sc in first st (the same st where you joined), sc in next 2 sts. Repeat: *2 sc in next st, sc in next 2 sts* around until there are two stitches left. 2 sc in next st, sc in next st. (31 sc). Join with a sl st.

Measure work. It should measure 2.75” (if it is bigger or smaller, start again with a bigger or smaller hook size)

Turn and start working in the opposite direction. Do not fasten off.

End of Row 4 instructions

Side Of Can Cozy

Note: Round numbers are now reset and the Pattern Chart now applies.

Round 1: (Ensure that you’ve turned and are working in the opposite direction). Ch 1 and sc in the back loop only of the first st (which is the last sc from the previous round). Sc in BLO in each st around. (The stitch total for this Round and all future Rounds is 31 sts). Sl st into both loops of the 1st sc to join. (For this Round and all future Rounds, do not turn).

Row 5 instructions

Round 2 and 3: ch 1. sc in BLO of each st around. Sl st into both loops of the 1st sc to join.

Rounds 4 – 9:

Every stitch is a single crochet (sc). The instructions for these rows do not say to sc because it gets too jumbled with all the back and forth between A (Main Color) and B (Contrast Color). Instead it says something like: A 3, B 4, which means: using the main color, single crochet for 3 stitches, add the contrast color on the last stitch of the main color and now using the contrast color, single crochet for 4 stitches.

Work in the back loops only of each st except when joining the round. To join the round sl st into both loops of the 1st sc.

Changing Colors Notes

  • As the side of the can cozy is worked in a continuous round, you will be working on the right side only (the right side is also referred to as the front, outside or RS). 
  • When it comes time to add the contrast color, you will add/pick up and use the contrast color when working on the letters and heart symbol and carry the main color along the wrong side (along the inside/the back) and it will always be nearby whenever you need to use it. Please refer to my guide on How to Crochet with Two Colors for how to add/change colors. 
  • Once you add the contrast color on Round 4, you will be carrying it all the way around until the letters / heart symbol are finished (at the end of Round 9).
  • Ensure all strands of yarn are always kept on the wrong side (the inside of the Can Cozy). 
  • Always add/change colors when you have two loops on your hook with the current color on the sc stitch BEFORE the new color stitch.

Catching Float Notes

  • To ensure the strand of yarn that you are carrying doesn’t get too long, you will “catch” your “float”. Please refer to my guide on How to Crochet with Two Colors for how to catch floats. 
  • The pattern does not indicate when to catch floats. You need to remember to do this every 2-3 stitches.
  • Always check each “catch” to ensure the opposite colored yarn is not visible from the front.
