Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in sunset hues (orange, pink, purple)
• Hook: Size G/4.0mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the foundation of your cozy.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring. (You should have 6 stitches total)
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches total)
4. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch* - repeat this sequence around. (18 stitches total)
5. Round 4: Work 1 sc in each stitch around. (18 stitches total)
6. Rounds 5-10: Create the wave pattern:
   • For the first 2 rows, work 1 sc in each stitch.
   • For the next 2 rows, work 1 double crochet (dc) in each stitch.
   • Change colors every 2 rows to mimic the sunset hues. Start with orange, then switch to pink, and finally purple.
7. Round 11: Work 1 sc in each stitch around. (18 stitches total)
8. Finish: Fasten off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
