The Waffle Stitch Cozy design is inspired by my Waffle Pumpkin that I published last fall. Using the same waffle stitch the cozy pattern has a few less rounds to crochet but instead of one color we use two colors of thread to bring out the vertical stripes.
When you finish the cozy, you will find that it is quite stretchy, so you can fit different kinds of things in it, whether a little vase, a jar or a flower pot. My cozy measures about 3 inches from top to bottom and 3.5 inches in diameter.
