A$$ Juice Cozy Part II

For Part I click here.

Here it is in all it's glory. Currently being modeled by a wine bottle. It's wool so it I don't imagine there will be any problems getting it to stretch over the A$$ Juice bottle; I think that one is a bit wider around than a standard wine bottle.

Pattern: see below
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted Weight
Needle: 5.0mm
Gauge: 6.4 stitches / inch (gauge not critical)


Pattern
(Please note that I wrote this out without testing, expect errors.)

Cast on 6 stitches.
Join in the round being careful not to twist.
Place stitch markers between all stitches.
Rnd 1 - kfb into all stitches
Rnd 2 (and all even rounds) - knit
Rnd 3 - kfb twice, *sm kfb twice, rep from * to end of round
Rnd 5 - kfb, knit to 1 stitch before the marker, kfb, *sm, kfb, knit to 1 stitch before the marker, kfb, rep from * to end of round

Continue until the circle is slightly smaller than the bottle you want it for, you want it to stretch at bit to fit. This does not need to be exact, it will stretch, especially if you use wool. Once you have reached your desired circumference remove the stitch markers leaving only one to mark the beginning of the round.

Switch to working 2X2 rib in the round.
Continue in rib until you reach desired length.
Bind off.
Enjoy beverage.
