Once bottom of the coozie is formed, SC are in the back loop only. This makes for cleaner lines with the color rows

If adding fleece, read on.
that extra layer of insulation
Using Fabric Scissors, cut a small rectangle of fleece that is enough to tightly wrap around a regular-sized can, and is approximately 3” tall.
Turn finished coozie inside out.
With Fabric Glue, adhere the cut fleece to the coozie approximately three rows from the top.
When dried, turn coozie right side out. Check the fleece lining attachment for gaps or wrinkled sections, and put additional drops of fabric glue where needed. Put a room-temperature full can inside the coozie to adhere the final fabric glue to the crocheted coozie. Leave to dry overnight.
The next day, cheer on your team with style!
