I love ice cream. I love it so much, I eat it year-round. I really dislike being cold, though. I also don’t like melty ice cream. A pint cozy is just the thing! It keeps my hands warm and the ice cream cold. I designed these cozies in honor of the great pioneers of ice cream flavorology. Stranded knitting (where one carries alternate colors across the wrong side) makes Ben double-thick and better insulated. The textured ball-band pattern on Jerry has a similar insulating effect. These wonders knit up quickly and make great gifts for other ice cream enthusiasts.
