GAUGE:
14 sts = 4" [10 cm]; 24 2rows = 4" [10 cm] in St st. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size needles to obtain the gauge.
Finished Size:
Cozies fit regular Pint (16-ounce) glass Mason Jars.
DIRECTIONS:
NOTESCozies are worked in the Round on Double-Pointed Needles from the bottom up.
The Cozies are to fit Mason Jars snuggly so the jars do not slip out.
The Bind Off edge will be tighter than the Cast On edge. Slide the Cozie on the Mason Jar like a sweater, placing Bind Off edge at the neck (top) of the Jar, and Cast On edge along base (bottom) of the Jar.
Jogless Stripes in the Round:
When joining a new color, prevent a jog at the joining point by lifting the right side of the stitch below onto the left needle and knit it together with the stitch.
To prevent holes in your work when changing colors, bring the new color up and over the old color, twisting yarns to join sections together.
