join w/ = join with

SLP ST = Slip Stitch

CH = Chain

SC = Single Crochet

HDC = Half Double Crochet

DC = Double Crochet

DC DEC = YO, insert hook in nxt st, draw up loop, (three loops on hook) YO pull through 2 loops; 2 loops on hook, YO, insert hook in nxt st, draw up loop, (4 loops on hook) YO pull through 2 loops; YO pull through remaining loops on hook.

*  * = Repeat between the stars the number of times stated;  x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on;

This is written in American standard terms, and is made from the top down

A crocheted cozy has a lot of stretch to them. If you would like your cozy to be looser than what I have in my instructions, then add to the base chain in multiples of two. You will need to have an odd number of stitches.

Using MC, CH 27 and join in ring, being careful not to twist. Beginning CH 2 does not count as a stitch throughout the pattern.

Round 1:

CH 2; HDC in joining st, and in each CH around; join w/SLP ST to beg. HDC; CH 2 (27 HDC)

Next is 3 rounds of ribbing

Round 2:

FP HDC in joining st; *BP HDC in nxt st, FP HDC in nxt st* 13x join w/SLP ST in beg. FP HDC; CH 2
(14 FP HDC; 13 BP HDC; 27 stitches)

Round 3 & 4:

Repeat Round 2

You will be decreasing by two stitches this next round, to compensate for the taper of the coffee cup. If you are making this to fit a cup that does not have a taper, please ignore the decreases.

Round 5:

DC in joining st; DC DEC; *DC in nxt st;* 21x; DC DEC; DC in last st; join w/SLP ST to beg. DC;
CH 1 (25 DC)

Round 6:

SC in joining ST; *SC in nxt st* 12x, dropping MC and pulling CC through on last pull through; execute a SHAMROCK STITCH; SC in next st, drop & cut CC leaving a tail for weaving in later; pull up MC on last pull through; SC in last 11 stitches; join w/SLP ST to beg. SC; CH 2 (25 SC)

Round 7:

(13  FP HDC; 12 BP HDC; 25 stitches)

Round 9 & 10:
