Project introduction
Pumpkin Cup Cozy is a crochet pattern by Vicky Staden, published on Ravelry and credited to her as copyright holder. The listing sits within her Cozy Crochet Creations source and is tagged in-the-round, motifs and Tunisian. This overview describes what the pattern is and what it covers; it does not reproduce the row-by-row instructions. For the actual working directions, use the Original designer’s pattern and instructions.
Pumpkin Cup Cozy
Vicky Staden describes the Pumpkin Cup Cozy as a cozy for warm drinks in autumn or fall, and notes it would pair well with a pumpkin spice latte. It is presented as a quick, stash-busting project: the whole project used less than 15g of yarn. The cozy is worked in the round using Tunisian knit stitch and Tunisian purl stitches to create a rib effect, while the pumpkin motifs are made separately and sewn onto the cozy.
The finished cozy measures 7cm high and 12cm wide, 24cm around in total. The designer says it fits her reusable coffee mug, which also works for cold drinks, and that it fits nicely around a 750ml or 1ltr bottle. For size changes, the listing suggests adding to or subtracting from the starting chain, or adding more rows for a taller cozy. The suggested yarn is King Cole Giza Cotton 4 ply, a fingering weight, 100% Egyptian cotton put up at 173 yards / 50 grams per skein.
