Sanitizer Cozy Free Pattern

In this day of pandemic precautions, many of my friends and family are carrying hand sanitizer with them where ever they go.  But who needs another item to search for in the car or in your purse?



Enter the keychain sanitizer cozy!  This crochet cozy is perfect to hold a sample bottle of hand sanitizer that can be refilled as needed.  The cozy has a button closure and a clip that will attach easily to a key ring or belt loop.

It features a classy 'X-stitch' pattern that will look great any time and anywhere





This cozy, as written, will fit a 1 ounce bottle of sanitizer.  For a 2 ounce bottle repeat rounds 4 and 5 one more time or until the cozy is long enough to fit the bottle, then continue with the flap.

I used this clip and just crocheted through the loops and single crochet on round 9 before continuing with the flap closure.   This secures the clip  right into the fabric.

15.  Sc in 4.    Chain 6 to make a button loop.  Attach end of loop to first stitch of round 15.  Fasten off and weave in ends.

Now choose a cute button and sew it to the   midline of the cozy.  Fold the top flap down and loop the chain over the button.  Your cozy is finished!  Clip it to your keychain, purse or belt loop and go in confidence that you will always be ready to sanitize!

I hope you enjoy this little pattern as much as I enjoyed designing it for you!

Blessings!
