Stitch Guide  

MC - Main Color, CA/CB/CC - Color A/Color B/Color C, CH - chain, SC - single crochet, SK - skip, SL ST - slip stitch, ST - stitch

Special Stitch

LSC - long SC (spike) = SC over the CH-1 space into the ST of the previous round

Notes

1. Cozy is worked from the top down.
2. To help hide the seam, change colors at the CH-1 of each round.
3. Do not cut the yarn at each color change. Instead, carry the unused yarns inside the cozy and fasten off at the end.
4. Crochet snugly.  The warmth and moisture of the coffee cup will make the cozy expand.

Other Suggestions

• Other yarns that will work well:  Lion Brand Cotton, Red Heart Creme de la Creme, Bernat Handicrafter
• If possible, I recommend putting the cozy onto the cup before filling it, just to be safe.  
• Cotton cozies are microwave-safe.  Do not microwave acrylic cozies, or a cozy embellished with buttons, etc.
• Use a different color for each of the color change rounds.  Use up all those scraps!
• If you want your cozy to be a little taller, work an additional round of SC at Round 2 and Round 15.
• Embellish your cozy with buttons, patches, or appliqués to make it unique!
