Creative Twist Crochet

Springtime Lip Balm Cozy

These cute little lip balm cozies are perfect for spring!  I made these with a craft fair in mind when I was trying to come up with cute ideas for small crochet items that would appeal to grown-ups and kids alike.  These work up really quickly so it's easy to make up a few in no time at all!  AND, it's a fantastic way to use up scrap yarn!  They are worked in continuous rounds with no joining and the little button closure adds a perfect finishing touch!  Hope you enjoy this little pattern! :)
