I created a Superman inspired koozie pattern. The main design is achieved through fair isle stranding. The crisp, raised border is cabled. Enjoy! You can also buy the koozie here.
Disclaimer: Feel free to make this pattern for your personal use, for your platypus, for charity, or to sell. The only thing I ask is that you please do not sell it on Etsy. If you are interested in purchasing a koozie from my Etsy store, you may do so here.
