Free Snowman Cup Cozy Crochet Pattern

Hello! I recently found some great buttons in the craft section of my local Walmart. I decided that they would be perfect for a snowman cup cozy. I wrote my own pattern and thought I'd share it with you.


Snowman Cup Cozy 



Hook: E 3.5mm or hook that works for you for a fairly tight stitch for your yarn.,
Yarn: Peaches N Cream 100% cotton (kitchen cotton) Worsted Weight (4)
Special Stitch: Camel stitch or hdc in back hump only. Video of stitch found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmJorQch4D0
Notions: Two black buttons for eyes, carrot button for nose.

Notes: You have two options for closing the cuff into a circle, you can slip stitch the ends together and weave in ends or use your beginning tail to sew the bottom cuff and your end to sew the top cuff. If you choose to sew leave your ends long enough to sew and weave in ends.

 Instructions:


Bottom cuffs: ch6, turn sc in back loop only (5sc). Ch1 turn, sc in Blo. Repeat until the cuff is long enough to go around the cup (approximately 8.5”). Do not finish off.
Slip stitch one stitch of cuff to the beginning to form a circle. ch1 and rotate to work in row ends. If sewing cuff closed, leave it until you have a few rows done or are finished. If slip stitching, slip stitch the two ends together, ch 1 and rotate to work in row ends.

Body: This knit look middle section is done in camel stitch
Round 1: hdc evenly in row ends.
Rounds 2-7: Hdc in back hump of Hdc below (camel stitch). Join to first hdc with slip stitch, ch1. Round 8: Sc in back hump of each Hdc.

Top cuff: ch6, sc in second ch from hook and next 4, sc in next 2 sc. *Turn, skip 2 sc and sc in next 5 in Blo. Ch1, turn, sc in next 5 Blo, sc in next 2 (both loops). Repeat from * around.

Finishing: Finish off and if you didn't slip stitch your cuffs, use end to sew closed the cuff. Use the beginning tail to sew closed the bottom cuff. Sew eyes on to the side opposite your seam.
