Materials Needed:
- 5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Darning needle
- Markers
- Tiny rings (optional, for attaching strap)
- Yarn (100% cotton, recommended from Paintbox Yarns, a thicker cotton suitable for a 4.5mm hook)
Pattern Steps:
Starting the Cup Cozy:
- Begin with a magic ring and chain two (these chains do not count as a double crochet).
- Work 12 double crochets into the magic ring.
- The starting chain two gives the height but is not considered a stitch.
- Pull the yarn to close the magic ring, then slip stitch into the first double crochet to complete the first round.
Round Two:
- Chain two (still not counted as a double crochet).
- In the first stitch and each around, work two double crochets in each stitch around, for a total of 24 double crochets.
Round Three (Adjusting for Cup Size):
- Start with a chain one.
- This round switches to half double crochets to avoid making the cozy too wide.
- Work one half double crochet in the first stitch, then two half double crochets in the next, repeating around for a total of 36 stitches to complete the third round.
In Round Four (Creating texture):
- Chain one.
- This round involves working half double crochets in the back loops only of each stitch around.
Stitch Pattern Rounds:
- Chain one, slip stitch in the first stitch, mark this stitch.
- Alter between slip stitch and half double crochet all the way around, ensuring you end with a half double crochet in contrast to how you started (with a slip stitch).
- For subsequent rounds, turn your work each time to create a ribbed texture by alternating the beginning stitch with either a slip stitch or half double crochet based on the round.
Finishing Rounds:
- Once you’ve reached the desired height with the stitch pattern, work two rounds of single crochets for a neat edge.
- To attach the tiny rings (if using), crochet a chain loop directly into the work where marked, ensuring it’s size-appropriate for the rings you’re using.
Final Touches:
- Fasten off the work, sew in ends with a darning needle for a clean finish.
- Attach the tiny rings through the chain loops created.
- Add a strap to the rings if desired.
