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.
