Crochet Pen Pot Cosies

(from March 14)

So I'm really getting into my crocheting at the moment and I had this idea to decorate some empty diet shake tins that I had set aside to use to keep all our pens, pencils etc in. I started by making a chain as long as needed to fit around the tin (plus 2 for turning). I then just worked dcs (UK terms or sc for US readers!) all the way along, changing colours at row ends until I had the right length to fit the pot. at the end I just sewed up the seam and slipped it over my tin.

Et voila!

Later I tried a wavy one using the technique for the ripple blanket from Lucy over at Attic 24.
