Cup Cozy Pattern

So I finally decided to try my hand at designing a knitting pattern. My aunt had asked me if I could make a cup cozy for a 1liter bottle of water so I decided to design one of my own. Here is the pattern and I hope you enjoy it and I hope you will let me know how yours turn out. :)
