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.
