Yeti Separation

My husband and older son both have Yetis. Actually, my husband has an Rtic but they look exactly the same. My brother has one too and he works in town 2 or 3 days a week so he stays with us and then we have 3 of them floating around looking like liquid filled triplets!! They obviously don't need any kind of insulation but they need distinction. So I decided to come up with a simple Yeti cozy pattern. You can make yours striped or solid color or mix it all up!! Just make it yours!!
