Stash Buster Coffee Cup Sleeve Pattern

Here’s how it works.

I had some bulky weight yarn left over from my recent crochet hat projects and decided to make a nice thick coffee cup sleeve for my disposable coffee cups 🙂 This sleeve slides easily on medium, large and tall cups (I tried it on my coffee cups from Timmy’s, Starbucks and McDonald’s).

  1. Hi Korry, For this project I crocheted under the back loop only for my stitches. For the sc stitches worked into the foundation chain, I worked under the back loop only (not the back bump of the chain). Hope this helps 🙂 and thank you for your kind words 🙂 Rhondda

  2. When you say to crochet into the back stitch of the chains, do you mean the back bump/3rd stitch or do I crochet just under the top loop? Oh and I love your designs so much. Thank you 💜

  3. I LOVE making coffee cozy sleeves, and this one is SO cool!! I love how it looks with striping yarn!

  5. Thanks for including the finished measurements. Now I can use any yarn and hook size.

  7. Hi Amanda! Hi Denise! Definitely a typo! Thank you for catching this! It was supposed to read R3-R22: repeat R2 – I was copying and pasting and copied the wrong part. I am very sorry for the confusion!! Rhondda

  8. I ended up doing 21 rows to get the 10″ length. I was using an unidentified yarn from the Joann grab bags though, so maybe it was a little less bulky than necessary.

  9. I am looking at the same thing. I wonder if it means 7 ridges, rather than rows. I kept going till I had 7 ridges and it worked (about 15 rows).

  10. Hello! Lovely cozy! If I do only 7 rows total though, it seems to be much too small. If I were to seam this right now, it’d only be large enough to go around a couple fingers. Was the R7 a typo, or am I doing something wrong? I’m using bulky yarn and a 5.5mm hook. Thanks!

  11. Hi Brenda 🙂 My newsletter is issued every Saturday. I wonder if it goes into your spam folder? Rhondda

  12. Hi Mary 🙂 Very good idea! This one doesn’t have a button so it will need to slide on the glass to work. You may want to try with cotton yarn or a cotton mix too as it is more absorbent than acrylic yarn 🙂 All the best, Rhondda

  13. Thought I had signed up for your site but I never see anything.
    Thank you.

  14. I can’t wait to try this! I don’t drink coffee but I always have a mug with lemonade in it. Even the cup that are supposed to not sweat. I can put this on the cups to absorb the sweat.
