Easy Halloween Moon Cup Cozy Free Crochet Pattern

Sharing is caring!

Create a Halloween themed cup cozy with this free crochet pattern. The full moon and flying bats are easy to make with color changes.

The basic cozy pattern is a simple one row repeat in a textured stitch pattern. I chose to use acrylic yarn but you could use cotton yarn if you prefer.

The colors are easy to customize if you like a white moon as I do in the video tutorial.

It’s worked flat and seamed. So you could add a button and chain loop to use on a mug if you want.

Materials

• 32 yds of #4 medium worsted weight yarn divided as: 2 yd black (B), 15 yd yellow (Y), 15 yd purple (P). 
• 5 mm crochet hook (US Size H-8) or hook needed to meet gauge
• Yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape

Notes

1. Please read through all notes and pattern before you begin.
2. Work up a gauge swatch using the provided gauge information. If your gauge matches great, continue on. If not, change your hook size and swatch again. If your stitches are smaller, go up a hook size, if they’re larger, go down a hook size. 
3. Ch 1 at the beginning of the row counts as the first single crochet. Stitch counts will include this stitch.
4. Stitch multiple is an odd number plus 2.
5. Color changing tip: before the last movement of last stitch before the color change, drop the first color and pick up the second color, finish the stitch in the new color. 
6. For color changes you can cut yarn and join with a slip stitch or carry the yarn. Since my colors are contrasting, I chose to cut the yarn and rejoin.
7. After the first row, the entire cozy is a repeat of row 2. To indicated color changes the number of stitches is written followed by the letter abbreviation for the color to work them in. Remember the beginning chain 1 does count as a stitch.
