The Yarn
For the sample crochet can sleeves, I used Lily Sugar & Cream in the colors Tangerine, White and Sunshine . The great thing about this yarn is the price point and the color options, it’s also a great quality cotton yarn. However, there are so many possibilities with yarn choices for this pattern. Lion Brand Yarn 24/7 Cotton Available here, Lion Brand Yarn Pima Cotton available here, WeCrochet Dishie available here, or any other cotton yarn that meets gauge will work!

Notes
- Slim crochet can sleeve size will fit a standard 12 oz seltzer style can. Measures about 6.5″ tall.
- Regular crochet can sleeve size will fit a standard 12 oz can. Measures about 4.75″ tall.
- ch 1 at the beginning of each round does not count as a st.
- If you begin with a ch4 ring instead of a magic circle, carry the tail under the dcs so that you can cinch your circle closed when finished.
- The first few times you use the sleeve it will be a little tight, it will stretch over time.
