We’re all familiar with the classic knit drink cozy. We cover our coffees and teas in cute cup sleeves all winter long. Now that summer is here, you don’t have to abandon your favorite knit accessory because of the rising temps. You can knit a cover for your water bottles, sodas, and even your beers. Instead of sealing in the heat, these knits keep your drinks cool and prevent extra condensation on hot, sticky days. If you’re at a summer bash, don’t lose your drink with all of the bottles on the table. Distinguish yours with a personalized knit cozy. These summer knitting patterns are perfect for all of your warm weather plans, whether you’re having a cheese and wine picnic in the park, a bonfire on a late summer night, or a barbeque on the beach.
