Description
The Gradient Glow Cup Cozy has a soft, knit-look ribbed texture that hugs your travel cup. It’s made with one simple special stitch, the center single crochet with the addition of a ch-1 space. Worked in a spiral with no joining, no turning and no seams, it’s as relaxing to make as it is to use.
It takes just 40 yards of medium weight cotton, so it’s a sweet way to use up those leftover yarn scraps. Gradient and variegated yarns really glow here, shifting from one color into the next with every round. Make one for your morning coffee, then make a stack for teachers, neighbors, coworkers and anyone else who runs on caffeine.
