The Evergreen Coffee Cozy

All of my crochet patterns are inspired by nature and what screams nature more than an Evergreen tree on your coffee cozy. It is also more environmentally friendly than the disposable paper koozies. This is a quick, easy and affordable crochet project making it perfect for gifts, craft fairs, or to sell on Etsy.

This Coffee Cozy pattern uses crochet colorwork which just means that you use more than one color of yarn in the same row. If you are new to colorwork you can learn all the basis here. The tree in the middle of the koozie was designed using a crochet graph. If you are new to reading crochet graphs you can learn the basics here.

Now let's get crocheting!

If you are new to crocheting I highly recommend that you use a stitch marker (sm). The sm is placed on the first stitch in each row (not the chain).
The chain at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
Make sure the number of stitches in each row matches the totals provided.

Note: When you are changing colours you have to set up the colour change in the stitch before. For example, the 14th stitch is grey (mc) and the 15th stitch is green (cc). The colour change starts in the 14th stitch. Insert your hook into the 14th stitch, yarn over with mc and pull through the stitch. You have two grey loop on your hook. Drop the mc and yarn over with your cc and pull through all the loop to complete the sc. You have now set up your colour change and the 15th stitch will now be green (cc).
