The Adjustable Coffee Sleeve Pattern!

My first public, free pattern!

Yarn: I used Lily Sugar’n Cream 100% cotton. Cheap, washable, and perfect for this project. Of course, feel free to use anything that gives you a similar gauge.

Hook: US 8/H, 5.00 mm

Gauge: Approximately 14 sc & 16 rows = 4". Gauge does NOT need to be exact. It’s a coffee cozy, not a tailored sweater!

This pattern has no right/wrong side.

1. CH 33
2. Turn, sc across (32 st)
3. BUTTONHOLE ROW: ch1, turn, sc in first sc, *ch2, sc in 3rd sc, repeat from * 2 more times; sc across (32 st)

Fasten off!

You can sew on some regular buttons, or you can crochet up a couple. That’s what I did, and here’s how:

Buttons - Make 2
- ch2, leaving a nice tail at the start of your work (for sewing and stuffing into the button to make it more firm)
- sc6 in second ch from hook
- work 6sc around
- *sc2tog, repeat 3 times
- leaving a nice tail for sewing, fasten off
- sew buttons on to cozy about one or two stitches from the edge.

And that’s it! Easy as pie… which would go excellently with that cup of coffee.
