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!

R1: Chain 13, **remember you are working in the back loop for this project** begin in the 2nd st from the hook, 2 blhdc in the st (note you may wish to mark the 1st st), 1 blhdc in each of the next 9 sts, blhdc2tog over the last 2 stitches. Chain 2, turn. (12)

R2: 1 blhdc2tog over the first 2 stitches, 1 blhdc in each of the next 9 sts, 2 blhdc in the last st, ch 2, turn. (12)

R3: 2 blhdc in the st, 1 blhdc in each of the next 9 sts, blhdc2tog over the last 2 stitches. Chain 2, turn. (12)

R4: 1 blhdc2tog over the first 2 stitches, 1 blhdc in each of the next 9 sts, 2 blhdc in the last st, ch 2, turn. (12)

Repeat R3 and R4, 6 more times.

Either finish off leaving a long tail to whip stitch the ends together, or slip stitch the seam closed.
