Coffee Sweater :: Free Knitting Pattern!

I was pretty put off by all the leather sleeves on my coffee mugs and at one point I had finally just had enough. I just didn’t like the idea of it. So I knit a new cozy for my coffee mug from the no kill alterntive – wool. Sure an animal product, but the sheep do get to live on to graze grass another day. And best of all, you can also use this sleeve on those paper coffee cups instead of using the card board ones or double cupping. Perfect!

Ingredients:
25g or less of sport weight wool (Nature Spun Sport is great) of each color A and B
Size 2 US (5mm) straight knitting needles, 9” length
Four 1/2” buttons

Notes:
When slipping stitches on the WS, make sure to put the yarn to the back before working the slip stitch.
Also, slip all stitches purlwise.

Techniques Used:
Knitting, Purling, Knitting two stitches together, Yarn Over, Slipping Stitches.
