Cabled Ice Cream Cozy – Free Crochet Drink Mitt Pattern
I’ve been meaning to make a couple new crochet ice cream cozies and drink mitts, but I wanted something that would fit a cozy holiday theme. What screams cozy in the world of crochet… Crochet cables of course! And if you’ve followed me for a while, you know how much I love crochet cables (I even taught 3 crochet cables video classes for Annies.)Â If you’re making an ice cream cozy / drink mitt for a someone in your life and you feel cables won’t be their thing, I also have a free crochet pattern for a Knit-Look Drink Mitt you can find HERE.
You can find the free crochet ice cream cozy & drink mitt pattern in this post below, or an ad-free print friendly version on Love Crafts here, Ravelry here, or on Etsy here.
