Love hand knit projects? Make this quick and easy DIY Extra Soft Knitted Cup Cozy! This is a beautiful gift idea and fun yarn craft to make! See the knitting tutorial and supply list!

Every fall I get the urge to pull out my knitting needles!

There is nothing like the feel of soft lustrous yarn in my hands! I love to create all types of knitted scarves and throws…but my favorite thing to knit is a quick and easy pretty Cup Cozy!

I drink a LOT of coffee and this is the perfect way to cover up those boring coffee cup containers.

I found the perfect shade of gray yarn last week and made this DIY Extra Soft Cup Cozy embellished with my grandmother’s vintage brooch for a bit of bling!

Place the 36 stitches on the 4 double pointed needles so that each needle has an equal number of stitches on it.

2. Being careful not to twist stitches, join ends to work ‘in the round’.

3.  Next, knit 1 round and purl 1 round.

4.  Change to stocking stitch (knit every round) and knit until Cup Cozy sleeve measure 1 1/4 inches from the beginning.

5.  Shape Sleeve: Knit 1, Make 1 [knit 9, Make 1] 3 times, knit 8 for 40 stitches. 

6.  Work even until sleeve measures 2 1/4 inches from the beginning.

7.  Increase Round: Knit 1, Make 1 [knit 10, Make 1] 3 times, knit 9 for 44 stitches.

8.  Knit until sleeve measures 3 inches from the beginning.

9.  Purl 1 round.

10.  Bind off all stitches loosely knit wise.

11.  Cut end of yarn.  Using embroidery needle weave yarn ends into back of cup cozy.

12.  Add a favorite new or heirloom brooch to your cup cozy to give it some beautiful bling!

    Hi, This is so adorable. I have pinned this and it keeps getting pinned from me. i am not alone in loving this cozy. I am a beginner knitter, so please excuse the dumb question, but what does it mean when you say…make 1…knit 9, make 1??? Also, the brooch is perfect. I am sure your grandmother would approve. Thanks.
