After a long work week, sometimes you just need to sit back with a cold drink in your hand. Don't let the summer heat get in the way by forcing you to suffer through a warm beverage; instead, work up one of these Cool Crochet Can Cozies. The fun spike stitch works well with these stripes, and the color theme can be adjusted to suit any occasion or group-red, white, and blue to celebrate a 4th of July party, camo to suit the hunting fans, or specific colors to support your local sports team. This is a great summer crochet pattern that you can make for all your friends and family, personalized exactly for their own enjoyment!

Stars and Stripes Hand Towel
Since designing the Gingerbread Man Kitchen Towel, I've had many ask me to design other crochet keyhole towels for all other holidays and for year-round use. Add a little Fourth of July, red, white and blue, crochet decor to your space with the Stars and Stripes Hand Towel, my latest crochet keyhole towel design. YARN Cotton is the go-to fiber for crochet dish cloths, dish towels, and hand towels as it's the most absorbent. There are several cotton yarns out there that would be perfect for this project, but I chose to use Lily Sugar n' Cream 100% worsted weight cotton yarn. Lily Sugar n' Cream is available in 39 colors so I was able to find the perfect colors I needed for this project within the same yarn line.
