Coffee Cozy
Introducing our charming and versatile cup cozy pattern, designed to be knit in-the-round for a seamless finish. This cozy is perfect for wrapping around your favorite to-go coffee cup or a tall reusable tea cup. In the United States, coffee culture has taken center stage, but this delightful project is equally suitable for tea lovers! I’ve often cozied up my travel tea mug with one of these handmade delights.
Our cup cozies serve as the ultimate stash buster, ideal for using up those little scraps of yarn collecting dust. The entire project weighs in at only 16g, requiring just a DK or light worsted weight yarn. Whether you’re looking for a quick knit for yourself or a thoughtful handmade gift, these cozies make perfect stocking stuffers and delightful presents for friends and family. Get creative by mixing any two colors of yarn to represent your favorite sports team, university, or even your house colors—customization is completely up to you!
The gauge for this project is a neat 22 stitches and 32 rounds across a 4" or 10 cm section in 2x2 ribbing, ensuring a snug fit for your cups. Plus, for those new to knitting or looking to refine their skills, the pattern includes links to a helpful blog post filled with large, clear pictures and a comprehensive video tutorial on the magic loop technique, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
Don’t let leftover yarn go to waste—transform those small remnants into lovely, functional cup cozies! Start your next knitting project today and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something both beautiful and practical.
