Skills Needed
- General knitting skills
Whether it’s a hot day, a stressful day, or just a Monday, sometimes eating ice cream by the pint feels like a necessity. To protect your fingers from that delicious chill, knit our free Felted Pint Cozy pattern. It’s a quick knit, a great stash buster, and a fun way to practice wet felting!
Sizes
