Quick Coffee Cup Cozy Sleeve Free Crochet Pattern

I always love a quick and simple pattern and this crochet coffee cozy pattern is just that.  It takes a small amount of worsted weight yarn and a short amount of time to make.  Plus, you wind up with a very useful end product!

Do you dislike messing with those cardboard coffee sleeves that normally come on your hot coffees?  Still feel like the coffee is burning your fingers?  Then this crochet coffee cozy is the perfect solution!

It is just thick enough that it can absorb the heat without being overly bulky on your coffee cup.  Cup cozies can also absorb all the liquid that sweats from your cold drinks that seem to drip everywhere.  Plus, they make for a great gift idea!

About This Cup Cozy Pattern

I decided to use Brava Tweed Yarn from We Crochet.  It is a #4, worsted weight yarn and it works up perfect for this cozy crochet pattern. The colors pictured are goldenrod, heron and wren.

I love the specks of tweed throughout the yarn and it works up great!  The tweed yarn makes for the perfect fall time cup cozies.

This yarn works great to make cozies for hot drinks, if you are going to use a cup cozy for cold drinks that will sweat, I’d swap it out for a 100% cotton yarn.

I also used a few fun crochet stitches like the Puff Stitch and the half double crochet in the 3rd loop to create this cozy and really give it texture.

Any #4 medium weight yarn will work for this pattern.  So, you can easily swap out your favorite cotton or acrylic yarn and use it in this free pattern.

Cup Cozies Make Great Gifts!

Pair a reusable coffee cup cozy with a gift card to a local coffee shop and you have the perfect gift!

Especially if you know of someone that loves coffee, you can whip one of these up in no time for a super fast last minute gift.

Not only do these cup cozies make great gifts, they also make for great items to sell at craft shows and markets!  They are quick to make, require little supplies and so many people could find them useful!

I think that they would be a great thing to add to your market.  Try making some in different colors and even maybe making a few different styles and see how well they go over.

​You might could even have some reusable coffee cups there that you cold use to display them on or even to sell them as sets.

What Size Cup Does This Cozy Fit?

​This cup cozy would fit most medium sized, average to go coffee cups.  Due to the stretch of the yarn, this crochet coffee sleeve would probably even fit larger cups.

If you wanted this cozy to be a bit shorter, you could always leave off a few rows.

You could easily make the cup cozy larger by adding extra stitches in the beginning.  Just make sure that you are working an even number of stitches around and this stitch pattern will work.
