Quick and Easy Crochet Pattern for Sock Yarn Cup Sleeve

If you have ever used fingering weight yarn, aka sock yarn, aka superfine yarn, you’ll likely know that it can result in some of the most beautiful projects, from socks to shawls, and more.

But what do you do with those little scraps of sock yarn left over after making one of those gorgeous pieces? It’s not enough to make something large, but it is too much to just toss. I have the answer for you, my friends, and it’s the Sock Yarn Cup Sleeve Crochet Pattern!

This is a quick (and fairly simple) project to whip up, and it really doesn’t use much yarn. It results in a fabulous, reusable cup sleeve, which you can just stick in your yarn bag for when you go to the coffee shop (or if you use a reusable coffee cup like in the photo).

These are great to stitch up in between larger projects and to stock up on for fast little gifts for teachers or neighbors or any coffee or tea drinker.

Pattern for the Sock Yarn Coffee Sleeve

The Sock Yarn Cup Sleeve Crochet Pattern is a quick and easy pattern, perfect for using up scraps of sock yarn leftover from larger projects. Whether you are a tea or coffee drinker, brighten up your cup with an environmentally-friendly sleeve. 

The pattern is worked in rounds using superfine yarn and an E-4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook.

Add to your Ravelry Queue Here.

Materials:

• Superfine Yarn (1 Weight), less than 50 yds. I like Stroll Sock Yarn.
• E-4 (3.5 mm) Crochet hook. I like this one from Clover.
• Yarn needle

Gauge:

Approximately 13 sts & 14 rows = 2″

*Note: It is very important not to make the foundation chain too tight. If you do, it won’t have enough stretch to fit nicely around the cup. 

abbreviations:

• ch = chain
• ss = slip stitch
• hdc = half-double crochet
• fphdc = front post half-double crochet
• bphdc = back post half-double crochet
• sc = single crochet
• st = stitch

Pattern:

Chain 43 (make sure to do this somewhat loosely). Join with ss to work in the round.

Round 1: Ch 1. hdc in each ch around. Join with ss.

Round 2: Ch 1. fphdc (bphdc, fphdc) around. Join with ss.

Round 3: Repeat Round 2.

Round 4: Ch 1. sc around. Join.

Rounds 5-16: Repeat Round 4.

Round 17: Ch 1. hdc in each sc around.

Round 18: Ch 1. fphdc (bphdc, fphdc) around. Join.

Round 19: Repeat Round 18.

Round 20: Ch 1. sc around. Join.

Finishing:

Use the yarn needle to weave in the loose ends.
