Crochet Apple Cozy Supplies

1-2 colors of worsted weight (medium 4) yarn
H-8 or I-9 hook ( I used an H crochet hook)
Stitch marker (optional)

Stitch abbreviations/terminology:

Magic ring → mr
Chain → ch
Slip stitch → sl st
Single crochet → sc
Half double crochet → hdc
Double crochet → dc
Treble crochet → tr
Increase (2 hdc in 1 st) → inc
Decrease (yo draw up a loop in each of the next 2 sts to get a total of 4 loops on the hook, yarn over, and draw through all 4 loops on the hook.) → dec

Important for this project:

**Join every round with sl st into the top of the first hdc, then ch 2 and continue in same st.
***You can increase the size of the cozy by simply increasing the amount of hdcs by 1 hdc before each inc. When you reach the desired width, just work even the needed height and make sure you end up with an even number of sts.
Switch it up: weave in your ends seamlessly to make it reversible. Turn the cozy inside out. Both sides look great.
Use dcs instead of hdcs to give the cozy a netlike look.
Switch colors every/every second round to make a striped cozy.
