How To Crochet An Easy Coffee Cup Cozy Free Pattern
Learn how to crochet this simple cozy pattern for your coffee cup. It’s a quick and easy pattern with pictures and video tutorial!
Crochet cup cozies are a great way to hold on to your hot drinks and protect your hand while your delicious coffee (or tea) cools to the perfect sipping temperature.
And you can use them for cold drinks too! If you use cotton yarn then it’ll absorb the condensation and keep your cup from slipping.

Never miss a pattern!
I used one of my favorite cotton yarns from WeCrochet in a variegated color that turned out great. I love how it looks in half double crochet.
When you go get your coffee from the shop you can pick up the cardboard sleeve. But if you’ve invested in a reusable coffee cup then making your own coffee cup sleeves just makes sense.
And if you’re not a coffee or tea drinker (gasp!) then these make great gifts. You can make a dozen mug cozies in different colors and display them at your next craft fair too.

Materials
- 30 yds of WeCrochet Dishie* #4 medium weight yarn (100% cotton, 190 yd (170 m) per 100 g skein) in shade Herb Garden — 1 skein.
- 5 mm hook US Size 8, or hook size to meet gauge. I’m using my ergonomic Furls Streamline* here.
- Yarn needle, Measuring tape, Scissors
Notes
There’s not a stitch pattern to worry about so you can start with any stitch multiple for the foundation chain.
To keep the join nice and tight, I pull up a long loop instead of chaining to start each round. If you prefer, you may chain 1 or 2 to start the round but do not count it as a stitch.
You may consider using stitch marker for the first stitch of each round.
Stitches/Abbreviations
US Terms
ch – chain
hdc – half double crochet
sl st – slip stitch
Construction
This pattern is crocheted in the round where you join each round and continue working in the same direction.
Skill Level
Beginner
Gauge
9 sts x 9 rnds (after blocking) to 3” (7.5 cm) measured in hdc.
Sizing
3.5” tall x 4.25” wide (flat)
Fit/Adjustments
This pattern has a suggested 1/2” (1 cm) of negative ease. This means the finished cozy is smaller than the actual cup circumference, and will stretch to fit.
To make a different size you can chain any number of stitches to fit your cup. Likewise, you can work to different lengths by repeating more or less rnds.
