With three colorwork charts, you can take your pick of a classic American flag motif, patchwork style mountain range, or Art Deco wheat stalks with the American Dream Cozy pattern! Let’s get our sip on, friends!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Needles
Set of US 5 (3.75 mm) double pointed needles or circular needles with cord long enough for magic loop knitting (or any needle that achieves gauge for colorwork).

Yarn Requirements
Two or three high-contrasting colors in DK weight yarn.
(Given the unlabeled stash yarn each sample uses, I have provided the weight of each color in grams vs yardage or meterage. As a note, these cozies should take anywhere from 30 - 40 total yards / 27 - 37 meters of total yarn.)
