When it's hot, you need a cool drink! And to keep it free of insects and leaves, the crocheted glass covers are ideal. You put your straw through the hole in the middle, and everything is sealed.
You can also use the cool covers as coasters. A crochet project that's fun even on hot days, because you use cool cotton and have so little of it in your hand that you won't even break a sweat. And a coaster like this is crocheted in no time, too.   So don't give up crocheting even in the heat, and go ahead and
