Minicabled Coffee Cozy ~Free Pattern~

 

As I've mentioned before, I LOVE coffee. Here is another coffee cozy that I whipped up a few days ago using some scrap yarn that I had. I thought it was a perfect oppurtunity to practice cabling without a cable needle. I've included detailed instructions on how to make this cute little cozy with or without a cable needle.

Yarn: Scrap worsted weight yarn (at least 30 yards, more depending on wanted length). I used Berraco Lustra left over from another project.

Needles: 4 US Size 7 DPNs or needles required for gauge

Gauge: 6 stitches to 1 inch, unstretched

Fit: Any normal coffee to‐go cup

Directions:

Cast on 40 stitches.

Join in the round, careful not to twist. 

Round 1: Knit 2, Purl 2 until end of round
Round 2: Knit 2, Purl 2 until end of round
Round 3:
Without Cable Needle - Pass the first knit stitch to the right needle. Knit the second knit stitch. Drop both stitches off the needles, picking up the left stitch (already knit) on the right needle. Pick up the right stitch on the left needle, going in front of the already knit stitch. Now knit this stitch. Purl 2, repeat until to to the end.
With Cable Needle - Place first knit stich on cable needle, hold to the front. Knit second knit stitch. Knit stitch off of the cable needle. Purl 2. Repeat until end of round

Repeat Round 1‐3 until cozy is 3 inches in length, ending after Round 2.

Bind off loosely. If bind off is too tight, the cozy will not fit on the cup. Weave in ends and enjoy!

Leaning Rib Coffee Cozy ~Free Pattern~

 

Leaning Rib Coffee Cozy

About a month ago, I promised that I would post this pattern up on the blog. I submitted in to Ravelry last December after designing it as a White Elephant gift. (and I still can't convince the recipient that they weren't originally meant to be wrist warmers) 

I’m also a little bit of a coffee fiend. I love coffee to the point where it is almost addiction. (Nevermind that!) So I wanted to come up with a cozy that I could slip on to my cup to keep my hands cool and my coffee hot.

Yarn: Scrap worsted weight yarn (at least 30 yards, more depending on wanted length). I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Solid yarn.

Needles: 2  US 7 circular needles (or 4 DPNs)

Fit: Any normal coffee to‐go cup 

Directions: 

Cast on 40 stitches over your two circular needles. (Or using your favorite in‐the‐round method) 

Join in a round without twisting

Round 1&2: Knit 2, Purl 2 until end of round
Round 3&4: Purl 1, *Knit 2, Purl 2* *until end of round
Round 5&6: Purl 2, Knit 2 until end of round
Round 7&8: Knit 1, *Purl 2, Knit 2* *until end of round
Repeat Round 1‐8 until cozy is 3 inches in length.

Bind off loosely. If bind off is too tight, the cozy will not fit on the cup. Weave in ends and enjoy!
