Keepin’ Kozy
A new year, a new water bottle for my desk, a renewed commitment to drinking lots of water throughout the day…and so a new kozy was in order. In using my other metal water bottles, I have found that having a simple cotton wrapper on them helps keep the water cool longer and minimizes the condensation.
Grabbing a ball of dishcloth cotton, in no time at all I had the Kanteen wrapped in a new kozy. Mom, here’s the pattern for you to make knit up a few for your new water bottles.
Kanteen Kozy Pattern
- Size 8 needles (DPNs or 2 circs)
- Worsted cotton (here: Sugar ‘n Cream Blue Bronze)
- Cast on 27 stitches & join in the round
- Knit in pattern (K2, p1) until desired length
- Bind off loosely
Thanks for the pattern…once I finish the blanket for the Genesis Shelter (they will take any and all blankets and baby hats that I make) I will do new cozies for our new bottles!
