The Shamrock Cup Cozy

 

Supplies you will need:

Yarn:

You will need worsted weight yarn (4) or Aran in the UK. This is a great project for using up your yarn stash. You can use cotton or acrylic yarn.

Hook: Size I/9 -5.5 mm
Notions:  Tapestry needle and scissors.

Gauge: 12 hdc – 8 hdc rows = 4” (10 cm)

 

Abbreviations (uses US conventions)

• Ch = chain

• Sl st = slip stitch

• st = stitch

• sc = single crochet

• hdc = half double crochet

This pattern uses US terminology. The US and UK crochet terms are different, but they use the same terms to describe different stitches. Here is a simple conversion chart for anyone in the UK.

US Half Double Crochet (hdc) Single Crochet (sc)

UK Half Treble crochet (htrc) Double Crochet (dc)

Size:

The finished coffee cup cozy when laid flat measures 4” tall and 4.5“wide approximately. This is so it will stretch and fit snugly when fitted on the beverage cup.

Instructions:

NOTE: This cozy is created in the round.

Chain 24, Join with a slip stitch to the first ch to make a loop. Be careful not to twist the chain.

Round 1: Ch 1, Hdc into the first ch and into each chain around (24 hdc) Join to the top of the ch1 with a sl st.

Round 2: Place a stitch marker (this could be as simple as a piece of contrasting yarn, or a paper clip) sc into the first st, hdc into the next st, hdc into each st until you reach the stitch marker.

Move the stitch marker up.

From now on you will be working hdc in a spiral and it will be a continuous round. Each time you reach the stitch marker you will move it up so you can count the rounds.

I made 7 rounds from the original stitch marker placement.

Next sc into the next st and sl st into the next st.

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

You now have completed the Coffee Cup Cozy.

How to Make the Shamrock Applique

Size:  2.5” tall approximately.

Note: You can make your shamrock larger by using thicker yarn and a bigger hook. If you want a smaller shamrock use a finer yarn and a smaller hook.

Supplies you will need:

Yarn: Category (4) Worsted Weight Yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn. You can easily make this shamrock with yarn from your stash of worsted weight (4) yarn.

Hook:  H/8 -5.00mm

Notions: Yarn needle and scissors.

Gauge: not important for this project

Abbreviations (uses US conventions)

• Ch = chain

• Sl st = slip stitch

• st = stitch

• sc = single crochet

• dc = double crochet

• tr = triple/treble crochet

This pattern uses US terminology. The US and UK crochet terms are different, but they use the same terms to describe different stitches. Here is a simple conversion chart for anyone in the UK.

Instructions for the Shamrock.

You start this pattern by creating a loop. There are two ways you can do this.

• Chain 4. Insert your hook into the first chain stitch and join with a slip stitch to create a small loop.

• Or you can start with a magic loop which you tighten when you have completed the leaves.

Note: There are three leaves on the shamrock.

Work into the centre of the loop

Leaf 1:  ch1, sc into the centre of the ring, ch 3, Make 1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc into the centre of the ring.  Chain 3 and sl st into the centre of the ring, sc into ring.

Leaf 2:  Ch 3, Make 1 dc, 1 tr, 1dc into the center of the ring.  Chain 3 and sl st into the centre of the ring, sc into ring.

Leaf 3: Ch 3, Make 1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc into the center of the ring.  Chain 3 and sl st into the centre of the ring, sc into ring.

Do not fasten off.

Now to Make the Stem:

Ch 5.

Sl st into the 2^nd ch from the hook and into each of the next 3 chains.  Join with a sl st to the first sc you made for the first leaf.

Fasten off. Weave in the ends.

You now have a Shamrock applique. You can sew this onto your cup cozy or any of your crochet projects to add a touch of the Irish for St Patrick’ s Day.

I hope you enjoy this cute cup cozy.
