Looking for a quick stash buster project?
Have some bulky weight yarn kicking about and want to use it up? I did!
This coffee cup sleeve will fit on most take-out coffee cups sized medium, large and tall – I have tested mine on my Timmy’s cup, McD’s cup and my Starbucks tall cup with great success. Plus it is a great stashbuster project!

Love this!
I have not worked with Unique. Is this pattern doable with say Hometown or Charisma? Or would that be too bulky?
