KNIT COVER FOR BEVERAGE CONTAINER

摘要

A knit cover for receiving a beverage container is disclosed which is formed as a single piece seamless rib knit sleeve having an integrally knit outwardly bulging band encircling the upper medial portion of the sleeve for aiding in preventing slipping of the cover through the hand of the holder of the beverage container, and for providing a decorative appearance. The knit cover acts as a heat insulating sleeve, and the lower or bottom portion thereof conforms to and underlies at least the outer peripheral portion of the bottom of the beverage container to act as a coaster for the container. The knit cover may be economically knit on a circular rib knitting machine, and readily folds or flattens so it may be economically shipped and easily stored while not in use.
