Thanks Suzan for the sweet comments and for pinning! 😉
I love it Heather! I wish I could knit one, my mom is working on teaching my daughter and I how to knit. My daughter is getting it, me not so much 😉 Great Job!
Keep trying! You’ll get the hang of it! I taught myself to knit so you can do it too and this cozy is so quick to make! An ‘instant reward’ type of project!
Aww this is SO sweet! makes me wish I could knit!

Cute! I don’t drink coffee, but I think this would make a pretty fantastic hot chocolate cozy 🙂
Where’s Gaia Java Coffee Company? I’ve never heard of it.
No plans yet for Valentine’s Day. Last year hubby and I walked along the canal and had dinner at a place on Somerset. It was fun & different 🙂
It would be great for hot chocolate Kelly!
So so cute!! Pinned and hopefully someone will take pity on me and show me how to knit 🙂
Haha! Thanks Keri!! Just get a book and teach yourself – that’s what I did!! You can too 🙂
Love the valentine cozy! Don’t see how many stitches you used, is this one just sewed at the end?
This is just too cute! Great work. 🙂
Aw – thanks – glad you like it!!
This is super cute. My daughter is going to attempt to make one. She may have questions for you…. she is 10. 🙂
Aw that is awesome that she wants to make one!! Tell her to send me a pic after she is done and I’ll put it on my facebook page! She can ask away Shannon!! 😀
Hi Heather,
Love this adorable cozy! I may have to get the kitting needles out!
Get them out Cynthia!! Thanks so much – glad you like it!!
What a great idea, and it’s so cute! If I drank take-out coffee, I would have to look into making one of these. Then again, I know a few friends that do… be a sweet gift!
Debbie 🙂
It would be a great gift Debbie! 😀
I’m loving your cozies! I’m sharing and pinning! Have a great week.

Thanks sweetie!
So cute, Andi
Love the valentine cozy! Don’t see how many stitches? Is it sewed in the back? Love to make this?
It’s sewed ‘in the round’ so it’s one piece, not sewn in the back. The number of stitches is 36. Glad you like it!
Soooo cute Heather!
Just too cute!

How lovely! Such a cute idea–and so simple… I may make a few of these as Valentine’s Day gifts for some friends–thank you for the inspiration! 🙂
That’s a fantastic idea Leisa – what lucky friends you have!! 😉
This is so cute. I love that its pink.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this to you but the pinterest button rollover is hiding your “Or follow along with me here !” I tried to like you on fb but I keep getting the pinterest button.
Oh weird! It works for me…strange! Hope it’s working now! Thanks for the heads up and thanks for your lovely comments!
Every cup needs a cozy – maybe you should call Starbucks?!
Kelly
Haha!! Could you imagine getting a deal with them? Chaching! Thanks for the thumbs up Kelly!
These are beautiful! I love to crochet but am still working on my knitting skills. I can do the basic knit and purl stitches but have NO idea how to knit in the round… I must learn!
🙂

It’s pretty easy to knit in the round Kim – you can do it!!
VERY cute! I’m pinning this one!
Thanks Lisa for pinning!!
Agh! I love this and the AGH is the “I don’t know how to knit” part of me yelling out.. How about you make a ton of these to sell? They are so SOOOO cute!!! Great job!
Adorable! I kind of want to start drinking coffee now 🙂
Java makes my world go round Loretta!!
Cute, cute… cuteness! make me want to take up coffee drinking. Or knitting 😉
Do both Shannon! 😉
That is adorable! I love the little heart and the button! Stuff like this really makes me wish I could knit:) Stopping by from TT&J.
Thanks for stopping by Kelli! Glad you like it!!
Very cute! I was going to sew a coffee cozy for a friend next week, but maybe I’ll knit her one instead. Yours is adorable.
Aw thanks so much Sarah for saying that – your friend is very lucky!!
Adorable! Does this one have the buttons to close it? Could you make one that just ends together, no buttons or lap over?
It doesn’t have any buttons Carol! It’s all one piece knitted in the round!
This is so cute!
What is the pattern for this? I see the instructions for the mug but not the cup. Also, what kind of yarn – worsted?
The link that is by the pink one leads to instructions for the mug one. Is there somewhere else you have the instructions posted? Soo cute! Thanks!
Sorry I fixed the link!
