Pattern Notes:

• Ch1 does not equal a stitch. Place your sc and hdc in the same st. When joining, skip the ch1 and join to the top of the sc or hdc with a sl st.
• Do your color changes when joining, and alternate colors as you’d like.
• Carry up your color to make it easier to pick up for next rounds.
• The written pattern does not include when to change colors. It will assume that you will change colors as you’d
  like.
• Pattern is written for both mug cozy and ice cream pint cozy. Ice cream pint cozy instructions are in parenthesis ().
• You can make your cozy taller. Just add extra rounds than suggested in the pattern.
