Crochet a coffee cozy cup sleeve with beautiful texture using this free crochet pattern.
“How do you take your coffee? Seriously. Very Seriously.”
-Momprenuers
I’m pretty sure my coffee needs a hug, so it knows how much I love it. <3
I knew I wanted to continue with the Kelsi Collection, but what to tackle next? Then I thought, “Who doesn’t want a cute crochet coffee cozy to match their headband or purse?” 😀
I was having so much fun on this new adventure of designing patterns. I had three designs under my belt and about 1,257 more ideas waiting to materialize from my brain! The only dilemma was choosing which one to work up next!
I knew that I wanted to expand the Kelsi Collection. By this time, the texture of this ribbed stitching had me mesmerized. I had to design ALL THE THINGS with this stitch pattern! Do you ever get obsessed with a certain stitch? or maybe even a certain color way? For me, it was this diagonal ribbing. The first two patterns in the series had been so well-received that I knew there should be more designs created with this texture.
As I was working on a Kelsi Clutch, my coffee cup caught the corner of my eye, and it was almost begging for a hug! The amount of SQUISH that this crochet coffee cozy adds to my cup is just amazing, as if I needed more of a reason to grab a cup of coffee. Now, the best part of waking up…
…is this cozy on my cup!
Skill Level – Advanced Beginner
Materials
Abbreviations
- CH – Chain
- SC – Single crochet
- SC2tog – Single crochet two stitches together
- BLO – Back loop only
- Sl St – Slip stitch
Notes
- Gauge: 2 ½ = 11 sc / 10 rows (worked in BLO)
- Finished cozy dimensions: 9” in circumference, 3” in width
- Cozy is worked back and forth in rows as one flat piece and seamed together when finished.
- The entire cozy is worked in BLO.
- Beginning chains DO NOT count as a stitch.
- Repeat rows consist of a decrease at the beginning of each row and an increase at the end of each row or vice versa in order to maintain a diagonal edge as the piece gets longer. The decreases and increases are indicated in red.
- I chose NOT to SC evenly around the entire outside edge as a design preference, but you do you! If you want a SC trim around the whole piece, add that step in before tying off.
