An insulating sleeve for beverage containers, the insulating sleeve comprising:

• at least a first layer and a second layer of elasticized fabric formed into a sleeve, the sleeve having an exterior surface and a sleeve interior, the sleeve interior for receiving a beverage container;
• and
• an integral pocket formed between the first layer and the second layer, the integral pocket for removably receiving an object;
• the first layer of elasticized fabric is a substantially t-shaped first panel and the second layer of elasticized fabric is a substantially t-shaped second panel;
• the first panel having a first substantially rectangular body area with a first panel first end and a first panel second end, a first panel pocket extension extending perpendicularly from the first substantially rectangular body area, a first outward facing surface, and a first inward facing surface;
• the second panel having a second substantially rectangular body area with a second panel first end and a second panel second end, a second panel pocket extension extending perpendicularly from the second substantially rectangular body area, a second outward facing surface, and a second inward facing surface;
• the first panel and the second panel joined at their edges such that the first inward facing surface faces the second inward facing surface, the first panel first end aligned with the second panel first end, and the first panel second end aligned with the second panel second end, and the first panel pocket extension aligned with the second panel pocket extension;
• the first panel first end and the second panel first end joined to the first panel second end and the second panel second end to form a sleeve;
• and
• the first panel pocket extension and the second panel pocket extension positioned between the first substantially rectangular body area and the second substantially rectangular body area to form the integral pocket.
