Your Navel Is Showing!

Okay, I don't fully understand the obsession with apple cozies, but they are kind of cute I admit. Orange you glad I didn't make one? Nope, it's an orange cozy instead.

Materials:
H hook
small amounts worsted weight cotton in color a and color b
2 stitch markers (scrap yarn or what you have on hand is fine)
button
tapestry needle

Abbreviations:
blo=back loop only

Note: Do not turn unless otherwise noted. When working stitches to marked st in row 9, make last st in the marked st. In row 9 you will join with a dc instead of a sl st and ch 3. This is also called invisible joining/beginning. Please view this tutorial for more information.

Row 1: sc in 1st ch and around, join with sl st in 1st sc, ch 1 (24 sc).

Row 9: Join with dc in color A in st where marker 2 was placed, dc in each st to marker 1, **begin strap** ch 13, dc in 4th ch from and across, join with sl st at bottom of last dc made before beginning strap (where it meets row 8), fasten off.
