Christmas Crochet Can Cozy
- It’s an easy Christmas crochet project as the pattern only uses simple stitches…if you know how to single crochet, chain and slip stitch you can make this Christmas Can Cozy!
- It works up quickly (you can complete this pattern before the end of your favorite Christmas movie!) and uses only a small amount of yarn (less than a quarter of a skein in total).
- Designed to fit a 12 fl. oz / 355ml beer, soda or pop can.
- This Christmas Can Cozy Crochet 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.

Finished Santa Can Cozy sizing using the yarn listed below and a H/8 (5.00mm) hook creates a can cozy that fits a 12 fl. oz / 355ml beer, pop or soda can. Please check your can’s measurements before starting.

Materials
Yarn: Any worsted weight (4) for the can cozy and bulky fleece (5) yarn for the fluffy top.

I used the color “Cherry” for the main part of the can cozy; the color “Black” for the belt; and the color “Sunny Day” for the belt buckle.
For the fluffy top of the can cozy, I used Bernat Pipsqueak. This yarn is bulky (5) weight. The size is 3.50 oz. / 100 g. A skein is 101 yd / 92 m. You only need a few yards. The exact color is called “Whitey White.”

- It is worked in the round. Do not turn your work at the end of each round (with the exception of Row 5, which is explained in the written instructions).
- Ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
- Always start in the same stitch as the chain.
- If you need help creating a magic ring/circle, Crochet365KnitToo has a great step by step photo tutorial here.

Measure your work. The bottom of the can cozy should measure approx 2.75” (which is the size of a bottom of a can). If your work is smaller or larger, I recommend starting again with a smaller or bigger size hook.
