Free Pattern: New Years 2018 Cup Cozy

Here is a fun and quick project to work up for the New Year.  Great gifts for friends or party favors!

For this project you will need:

• 2 colors of #4 worsted weight cotton yarn (used in example: Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton)
• Size F 3.75mm crochet hook
• Scissors and yarn needle
• Knowledge of tapestry crochet (helpful)

Other Notes:

• The inactive yarn is carried throughout the cozy under the active yarn stitches
• Do not pull the yarn too tight that is carried inside the stitches, your cozy will not stretch very well and therefore not fit on your cup if it is too tight
• Ch 1 does not count as a stitch
• First single crochet is always the stitch you joined to
• This pattern is worked in the back loop only
• The number of stitches of each color will be in parenthesis and every stitch is a single crochet
• Color A (A)
• Color B (B)
