Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to crochet the Ocean's Cup Cozy. This is a quick and easy crochet project that can be made with any worsted weight cotton yarn. The cup cozy is not only functional but can also be customized with embellishments such as buttons. It is a versatile accessory that can fit around various types of mugs, making it a convenient item to have on hand.

Materials Needed

To crochet the Ocean's Cup Cozy, you will need the following materials:

• Worsted weight or medium weight number four cotton yarn (approximately 40 yards)
• Size H/8 or 5mm crochet hook
• Stitch marker
• Yarn needle

Stitching the Foundation Chain

Start by making a slip knot and then working a foundation chain. The foundation chain should have 30 chains, but you can adjust the size by chaining an even number of stitches. Join with a slip stitch into the first stitch to create a round.

Working Row 1

For Row 1, chain one and then work two single crochet stitches into the same stitch as joining. Skip the next stitch and work two single crochet stitches into the following stitch. Repeat this pattern until one stitch remains. Do not join.

Working Rows 2-16

For Rows 2-16, skip the first stitch and insert your hook through the center of the next stitch. Work two single crochet stitches in each stitch around, skipping the next stitch before each set of two single crochets. Repeat this pattern until you have completed 16 rounds.

Adding the Top Edging

Remove the stitch marker and join with a slip stitch into the top of the first stitch. Work a slip stitch into each stitch all the way around the top of your cup cozy. Join with a slip stitch into the first slip stitch and fasten off.

Finishing Touches

Turn the cup cozy around and join your yarn with a slip stitch into any stitch. Chain one and work a slip stitch into each stitch around. Fasten off and weave in any ends. Your Ocean's Cup Cozy is now complete.

Stretching and Fitting the Cozy

If needed, stretch the cup cozy slightly to fit your desired cup size. Cotton yarn has a natural stretch that allows for a snug fit without stretching too much.
