Quick Scrap Yarn Crochet Pattern for Cat Cup Cozy
Not sure what to do with those tiny scraps of sock yarn? Want to make a quick and quirky crochet gift for a cat-loving friend? Sick of the cardboard cup sleeves on your Starbucks runs? Then you will need the Professor M Cup Sleeve in your life!

This pattern was born of my love of cats, coffee, and magical professors. If you are new to Fandom Knitting + Crochet, it’s kinda my thing to design patterns inspired by (in a very loose, non-literal way) my favorite books, movies, and tv.
So, what we have here is the Professor M Cup Sleeve in a crochet version, made with fingering weight yarn. I had a lot of fingering weight yarn scraps because I like to make socks and shawls with it. We recently had a crochet along in the Fandom Knitting + Crochet group, where I used this cool green color, and I wanted a quick way to use up the scraps of leftover yarn.
It is a bit of a resolution of mine to use up my yarn scraps this year, so that’s what I’ve been working on. Also, it is a totally practical project because I LOVE coffee, and I use the reusable Starbucks cups a lot. They do get really hot, and a cup sleeve is totally handy when using them. You can also use them with the regular disposable cups you get at the coffee shop, so just go ahead and throw one in your bag and ditch the cardboard sleeve.
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. (Or cat or magical professor fan.)
The pattern has written instructions, a graph for the cat image, and tips for working a graph in the round. This pattern is not currently available as a free pattern on the blog, but you can snag a printer-friendly copy of the pattern, complete with chart and instructions for a very small fee at my Etsy shop:
