Measuring
Not all coffee cups are created equal. If you want a good fit, I would highly suggest taking a few seconds before you get started to take a couple of measurements.
First, you will need to measure the circumference of the cup. All the way around the outside of the cup.
My cup measured approximately 10 3/4 inches.
My cup measured approximately 10 3/4 inches.
Next, measure how tall your cup is.
Mine measured 4 inches.
Mine measured 4 inches.
To Start: Ch 13, Hdc in second ch from the hook & across (12)
Now, at this point I take another quick second to double-check my work. I have placed it on the cup to see if I have left enough of a “lip” on the cup to comfortably drink. Personally, I don’t like to feel the
fuzzy yarn on my lips, nor do I want to leave any lipstick on my beautiful cozy.
Let’s keep going…

Pattern
Row 1: Ch 1, turn; Hdc across (12)
Rows 2-36: Repeat row 1
Row 1: Ch 1, turn; Hdc across (12)
Rows 2-36: Repeat row 1
At this point, it’s a good idea to stop & take another quick measurement. Since mugs come in different sizes, you want the length of your cozy to be about ¾ of an inch to 1 inch shorter than the circumference of your cup. We will be making a tag of sorts to make up the different and reach through the thumb hole of our mug.
(I forgot to measure mine as I was going (oops), so I measured once I was done. Do as I say, not as I
do.)

Row 37: Ch 1, turn; Sl st in frist 3 sts; Hdc in next 6 sts. (It’s going to look a little wonky for a bit, but stay with me.)
Row 38: Ch 1, turn; Hdc in each st across (6)
Rows 39-41: Repeat row 38.
Row 42: Ch 1, turn; Hdc in first 2 sts, ch 2, sk next two sts, hdc in last two sts. (This creates a button hole.)
Row 43: Ch 1, turn; Hdc in first st, Hdc 3 times in ch 2 sp, Hdc in next sts.
Do not fasten off!
Turn your work to the side and begin placing a single crochet in each stitch around the entire perimeter of the piece; placing two sc in each corner. Once you have worked your way around to your first sc, sl st in that first sc. Fasten off& weave in ends.
Next, you will need to attach your button to the wide end of your cozy using the needle & thread.
Finally, wrap your cute cozy around your coffee cup& fill ‘er up! Enjoy!
