Patterns, projects and techniques
You know how I like the idea of recycling for crochet and other crafts. Ran across this nifty idea that comes with a free pattern so you can make your own. If you don’t happen to have old jeans to recycle, you can find them at garage sales for 50 cents. Other sturdy fabrics like canvas, duck, and corduroy would work equally well. So, raid your closet and pull out your largest hook and get busy!

Step into the cozy world of lumberjack chic with this charming Lumberjack Crochet Can Cozy Pattern. Inspired by the timeless allure of buffalo plaid and rugged flannel jackets, this pattern combines style and practicality to create a unique beverage holder that’s perfect for enjoying your favorite drinks in the great outdoors. Whether you’re sipping on hot cocoa around the campfire or cracking open a cold one at a backyard barbecue, this crochet cozy adds a touch of rustic charm to any beverage. Is this a Christmas project or a fall project? I wasn’t too sure so stuck in the middle.
Crafted to fit standard 12 fl oz / 355 ml cans, this Lumberjack Can Cozy features a classic plaid design achieved through the art of colorwork crochet. If you’re new to colorwork, fear not – detailed written instructions and a full video tutorial are included to guide you through the process. With a few simple stitches and a bit of yarn magic, you’ll soon be creating your own cozy masterpiece.
Love this idea! I was going to make throw rugs, but I like the bag even better. Thanks!
