Crochet Coffee Cozies
February 16th, 2007 by HeatherA crocheted coffee cup cozy is a great way to express yourself while doing your small bit to help the environment.
These are super easy to make, and make a great way to use up ends of skeins you may have laying around. To make them, I chained 35 and made sure it fit snugly around the cup (I had an empty cup from my favorite coffee joint to use for sizing), depending on the size you want or the yarn you use, you may need to chain more or less.
From there, I simply did single crochet in the round. About three rounds in, I did a round of repeat increases (2sc in one chain, 2 sc in the next two chains) so that it flared out slightly to fit the cups. Another three rounds of sc in each chain, and then I did a round of decrease (10sc, sc2tog) so that it was tighter around the cup. The rest of the cozy was single crochet and I finished when they were the width I wanted, about two and a half inches. Weave the ends in, and there you have it – a custom reusable coffee cozy.
These can be personalized in so many ways so you can make them to suit your personality, or the seasons, holidays – whatever you like! If you make them out of an acrylic yarn, you can simply throw them in the washer and dryer to clean, making them easy to care for. And they would make a great gift for a coffee lover

What size Hook did you use? I would love to make a few. I have just picked up crochet again in the past 3 months. I am currently reading the same book as you ” Siple sewing with a french twist” and I love it>

I used a G hook – thanks for letting me know that I forgot that part!

If I wanted to make this cozy but felt it, how many extra stitches do you think I would need?

Its really hard to say, based on what yarn you are going to use. I would suggest making a swatch and felting that first, once you see how much it shrinks you can increase the number of stitches based on that.
Hope that helps!

[...] have found there is an entire movement. A good example of a cozy is this one for a paper coffee cup here (in place of the single-use cardboard ones). There is also a lot of people doing crochet cozies in [...]
