Take a moment, if you will and imagine a world without rough edges.
I have had the sudden urge to make a cozy for everything. Imagine a world filled with toaster cozies, car cozies, house cozies, even a cozy for your cat. Just when you think that your cat can not get any cozier suddenly their twice as fluffy and snuggle-able as before.
I would first like to acknowledge that I do not like patterns nor do I believe in them. I don't live by a pattern so why should my projects have to? Once I start sewing more this may change but for know I stay as far away from them as humanly possible.
I started by crocheting in a circle and adding stitches, almost doubling the amount of stitches every time to keep the bottom of the cozy flat. If you don't know how to croche in a circle there are some awesome videos on YouTube.
Once I reached the size that I wanted to bottom of the cozy to be I stopped adding stitches.
When I stopped adding stitches the cylinder started to form on its own. And I just stopped once it felt right in my heart.
After carrying it around for a couple days I got the idea to add a strap to my next one so that I could sling it across my shoulder and take it on my adventures!
Making the world a little softer, one cozy at a time: HALES
I love that idea :)
