This post has absolutely nothing to do with books. I was bored, so I decided to knit something. I was going to knit a tea cozy, but I decided instead to knit an erlenmeyer flask cozy. I made up the pattern for it. It will fit a little bit tightly on a 500 ml erlenmeyer flask. This is how I made it.
Using worsted weight yarn and about 3.5 millimeter double pointed needles, cast on 60 stitches.
On each round, decrease 1 stitch. On the first round, knit 2 together and knit the rest of the way around. On the second round, knit and decrease when you are halfway around the round. You can make a design if you want to. (I did stripes.) Alternate rounds 1 and 2 until there are 20 stitches and cast off. With a piece of yarn and a tapestry needle, pull yarn through every fourth stitch on the base of the cozy. This will create a sort of drawstring.
Slip the cozy over the erlenmeyer flask and tie the drawstring firmly around the base of the flask.
