Dancin' Dots Drink Cozy

Today I'm posting a cute pattern for a drink cozy.  It's very versatile.  It helps protect your hands from icy drinks... burrr!  And, it makes your drinks look pretty. :)  It fits a regular bottled water or soda can great- I guess you could change the amount of increase rows for a larger or smaller cup. This pattern (in my eyes) would be upper level easy to beginning intermediate, just because of the constant color changes.  Once you get used to it, it's actually a fun project!
