Sunset Cup Cozy - Free Pattern

This beginner-friendly cup cozy is a quick make, and by changing up the color combos, you can create something truly unique. I chose a color palette that reminds me of a sunset, hence the name of this pattern. See the pattern below, including some video tutorials for some of the special stitches/techniques.

Materials:

H hook (5mm) - If you have a tighter tension, size up your hook.

Worsted weight yarn #4 (I used I Love This Yarn)

Scissors and needle for weaving in ends

Abbreviations (US terms):

ch - Chain

sc - Single Crochet

hdc - Half Double Crochet

dc - Double Crochet

hdc3rdloop - Half Double Crochet into the 3rd loop (see tutorials)

Crochet Swatch - Stitch Tutorial

I love playing around with new stitch patterns, so sometimes I just make swatches. Sometimes those swatches make it into designs, and sometimes they just stay swatches. By request, here is one of my favorite swatches that really does need to become a full pattern. Maybe someday it will. For now, it’s just a daydream.

Materials:

H hook

Worsted weight cotton yarn

Instructions:

Chain 30 (multiple of 4 + 2)

1. Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in ea of the remaining ch. Turn. 29 sts
2. Ch 3 (counts as st, or use standing dc), *sk 1 st, v-st in next st, sk 1 st, dc in next st* Repeat to end. Turn. 
3. Ch 1 (does NOT count as a st), hdc in ea st and ch sp across. Turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you reach your desired length.

I would love to see if you use this stitch pattern in something! Tag me on socials @sarahlizfiberarts so I can see your work!
