With three distinct colorwork charts that include a stoic ammonite, trippy triceratops, and “kissing” t. rexes, you can declare your love for all things prehistoric while sipping your favorite bubbly water, beer, soda, or whatever kind of canned beverage you prefer!

Cozies fit a standard 12 - 14 oz can.

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 high-contrasting colors in DK weight yarn.

Color A: 40 yd / 37 m (roughly 15 g)
Color B: 25 yd / 23 m (roughly 10 g)
Yarn length is enough to cover any of the three charts individually.

This project makes for great stash busting, but if you’re looking for something specific, I recommend Yarnaceous Fibers Bronto DK, Frosted Stitch Frosted DK, or Malabrigo Rios (which I’m pretty sure is a combo of what was used in these samples).

Notions
Tapestry needle
2 stitch markers
Scissors
