Why You’ll Love This Heart Stitch Coffee Cozy
This isn’t just another cup sleeve. It matches the Heart Stitch Tumbler Wrap, which makes it extra special.
This cozy works up quickly, making it perfect for craft fairs, stocking stuffers, teacher gifts.
What Is the Heart Stitch in Crochet?
The Heart Stitch creates small heart-shaped motifs directly in the fabric as you work — no appliqués added later. That means:
-
The hearts are built right into the texture
-
The fabric has beautiful depth
-
It looks impressive but becomes rhythmic once you learn it
If you already made the tumbler wrap, you’ll feel right at home with this stitch pattern.

Designer Notes:
1. This is written in American standard terms.
2. It is made from the bottom up.
3. 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 even number of stitches.
4.This cozy is worked in the round with joins, there are no turns.
5. All beginning chains do not count as a stitch
