Flip Flop Graph Drink Sleeve

Flip Flops Drink Sleeve

Summer never has to end with this fantastic flip flop graph drink sleeve. Designed to fit either a can or a glass with directions in sc and tunisian crochet. Designed by Creative Threads by Leah exclusively for Cre8tion Crochet.

This awesome drink sleeve and flip flop graph were designed by Leah Feild of Creative Threads by Leah. Leah is one of Cre8tion Crochet’s featured contributors.

I love summer and one of my favorite things about summer is flip flops! I can never wait until it is warm enough to wear them and only put them away when it is absolutely too cold to get away with wearing them longer. My husband has laughed at me because I have even paired toe socks with my flip flops to get a longer wearing season out of them. Another thing I love about summer is a big glass of sweet tea but I HATE having a sweaty glass. So I combined the two and designed this drink sleeve! And when the weather turns cold and I can’t wear my flip flops, I might just pull this sleeve out and put it on my coffee cup! I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I enjoyed creating it.
