A “cozy” is what I call a smaller version of an afghan
I recently made one for myself with a combination of leftover yarn I had from various baby blankets
It’s perfect for covering your feet and legs, without the bulkiness of a full size afghan or throw
It’s about 24″ x 48″
A standard size baby blanket is 36″ x 36″
I chose bulky yarn this time so it would work up quickly
My go to stitch is the shell, it’s fun to do and looks so pretty
I wanted to try a new stitch this time, and chose the V double crochet stitch
You can find a great tutorial here
Then I did 5 rows of single crochet on the long edges to finish
The soft fluffy white yarn looks like fur when it’s stitched closely together
A cozy is great for using in a stroller or car seat, this pinky orange one is about 24″ x 40″
Be sure to add washing instructions to your creations
I made this in PicMonkey, using one of their templates as a base and then I adjusted the colors and text
I folded it up and tied it with a pink polka dot ribbon and put it in a clear gift bag
If you like to crochet, I’d love to know your favorite stitch!
