30 Minute Coffee Cozy

I needed a super quick gift and decided to whip up a coffee cozy to go with a mug I picked up at my local Wal Mart. I wanted a handmade gift but with all the things going on this holiday season I just didn’t have the time to crochet a larger project. I just finished making all the hats for my sons’ teachers and just ran out of time for anything else before Christmas Day. But this gift is for a coffee lover so I created this cozy and had a few moments to create a knit version as well, then threw in some nice bags of coffee and the gift was done! This version took me less time because I crochet so much faster than I knit. In fact, it actually took me a little less than 30 minutes. If you’re looking for a project with instant gratification, this is it! 🙂

What You’ll Need

Yarn: Premier Yarns Serenity Chunky in Pristine

Hook: Size K (6.5 mm)

Gauge: 15 sts and 10 rows = 4″ in seed st

Finished Measurements: Approx. 12″ long and 3 1/2″ wide to fit mug 12″ in circumference and 4 1/2″ tall

Notes: This length worked for my particular cup. After you work quite a few rows keep trying it on your cup to see how long it needs to be. You may find it needs to be a little shorter or longer than mine.
