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.

Crochet pattern for coffee cozy

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:

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.

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.
