Gift Card Holder Coffee Cozy Crochet Pattern

If you know me, you know I am all about the coffee. Because I love coffee, and I love giving gifts, and, of course, I love crocheting, I make a lot of coffee cozies to gift to people – my sons’ teachers, hostesses, random people on the gift list.

I decided to make a whole little gift of it by purchasing a reusable Starbucks cup, putting the crochet sleeve on there, and giving a gift card. And that’s where the idea came for making a little pocket on the sleeve to hold the gift card. It could also be used to hold a tea bag for a non-coffee drinker, or really anything roughly card sized.

So, next time you need to stock up for a craft fair or just want to have a few quick gifts handy that anyone will love, crochet the perfect gift – a gift card holder cup sleeve! This is an easy crochet pattern great for beginners.

What you’ll find here is the crochet pattern that includes FREE written instructions right here on the blog.  There is also the option to get a printable version, which is a PDF Download formatted for printing with large print instructions. It is available for a very small fee, which you can get right here.

Gift Card Holder Cup Sleeve Crochet Pattern
Pattern for the Crochet Gift Card Holder Cup Cozy

For this pattern, you’ll use medium weight yarn (#4 weight). I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Silver Heather. You’ll need size G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook and a yarn needle for seaming and sewing in loose ends.

This pattern is worked flat as a rectangle and seamed along the back.

Materials:

  • Medium weight (#4) yarn (less than 100 yds)
    G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook
    Yarn needle

Gauge:

Approximately 15 stitches and 13 rows = 4″

abbreviations:

  • ch = chain
    hdc = half double crochet
    st = stitch

Pattern:

Ch 15. Hdc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each across. (14 hdc)

Ch 2. Turn. Hdc in each hdc across. (14 hdc)

Repeat the last row until the piece measures approximately 8″ from the chain row or until it stretches to fit snugly around your cup.

Fasten off.

Sew the back seam.  For seaming instructions, check out my YouTube tutorial here.

Weave in loose ends.

For the Pocket:

Chain 10 sts.

Hdc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each across. (9 hdc)

Ch 2. Turn. Hdc in each hdc across. (9 hdc)

Repeat the last row 6 more times or until pocket is desired length.

Fasten off.

Sew the pocket onto the cup cozy in desired spot. I used whipstitch, which worked really well. Here is a tutorial for whipstitch.

*TIP – ensure that you place the pocket where the gift card or tea bag will fit nicely on the cup. Also, consider pinning the pocket in place while sewing the three sides with whipstitch. That will help keep the pocket even as you sew.

Weave in loose ends.

Ta-da! That’s it. You can then stuff the pocket with a gift card or tea bag and even give a reusable to-go cup with it for a delightful, easy gift.

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.

Read on for the FREE pattern instructions right here on the blog. You can also download a lovely, printer-friendly PDF file for a very small fee at my Etsy shop.

Cup Cozy Crochet Pattern

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.
