Crochet Cozy Mug Cover Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Number 4 medium weight yarn (100% acrylic or cotton)
- 5 mm crochet hook
Crochet Pattern:
Foundation and Setup:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain 13 stitches.
Row 1:
- Work a single crochet into the second chain from the hook.
- Continue with one single crochet in each of the remaining chains.
- You should have 12 single crochets by the end of Row 1.
Row 2 and Beyond:
- Chain 1, then turn your work.
- Starting from the first stitch, work a single crochet into the back loop only of each stitch across.
- Repeat the steps of Row 2 for each subsequent row.
Repeat for Consistency:
- Continue repeating the pattern established in Row 2 until you complete Row 31. This creates a textured ribbing effect thanks to the back loop only single crochets.
Adding Length:
- Chain 14 stitches once you've completed Row 31.
- Without twisting the chain, begin to attach this chain to the side of your work.
Closing the Cozy:
- Work single crochets evenly across the chain and the side of the cozy, incorporating the stitches from the final row you crocheted.
- Chain another 14 stitches after reaching the end of the side.
- Similar to the previous side, work single crochets along the new chain and the opposite side of the cozy.
Finishing Touches:
- To join and finish off the piece, slip stitch to the beginning of the chain you made to start the side closures.
- Cut the yarn, pull it through the loop securely, and weave in any ends to tidy up.
Final Instructions:
- Hide any yarn tails by weaving them in using a needle, ensuring the finish is neat and the cozy maintains its shape comfortably around a mug.
Additional Tips:
- Feel free to customize the color or use variegated yarns for a unique effect.
- Make adjustments to the chain length if a larger or smaller size is needed to fit different mug sizes.
