Hello! It’s Jennifer Ryan, the designer and blogger behind Celtic Knot Crochet. I am excited to be sharing a patriotic crochet project here on the Clover blog!
This project works up quickly and is super practical! All you need is a small amount of red, white and blue yarn to make this cute cozy. The stitch pattern is simple, too – a fun variation of the single crochet stitch that gives great texture and stability.
Let’s get started!

Size 3 (DK weight) Cotton yarn – 1 skein of each color Red, White and Blue

Decorative star button
Clip
Finished Measurements: 2” wide x 3 ¼” tall (when laid flat and sanitizer bottle not inside)
Gauge: 1” = 4 1/2 Wsc; 1” = approximately 7 rows of Wsc

Lp (loop)
Ch (chain)
St (stitch)
