Supplies

  • 4.5mm Hook
  • (Optional) 6mm Plastic Safety Eyes
  • 4/Worsted Yellow Yarn
  • 4/Worsted Orange Yarn
  • 4/Worsted White Yarn
  • 4/Worsted Black Yarn: Less Than 1yd
  • 4/Worsted Pink Yarn: Less Than 1yd

Directions

Working in joined rounds. Slst and ch1 at the end of each round.

  1. Yellow Yarn: Chain 35, slst to the last chain from the hook to form a circle.
  2. Ch1, 1sc in same space, then 1sc in ea st around, slst to the start, ch1 (35)
  3. Repeat until you have 4 rows of yellow.
  4. Change to orange yarn, complete 3 rows of orange.
  5. Change to white yarn, complete 3 rows of white.
  6. Snugly slip stitch around the last row of white. Make sure to test your cozy on the cup you intend to use it with to make sure it isn’t too small for the cup.
  7. Using yellow yarn, loosely slip stitch around the first row of yellow stitches at the top of the cozy. Test the fit of your cup cozy again.
  8. If using black yarn for the eyes, now’s the time to embroider the eyes and face onto the cozy. Use your best judgement on where you’d like to place these.
    F/o and weave in ends.
  9. If using safety eyes, insert the eyes several stitches apart and do NOT use the included backs. Instead, use a lighter to melt the backs of the eyes and flatten them with a spoon or other heat resistant surface.

    ** Use extreme caution when using lighters and/or open flame to melt the backs. It is possible to injure yourself, or damage the cozy if you are careless.**

  10. (Optional) Use the Pink yarn to add little blush spots just under the eyes, for a bit more character.

Sheep Coffee Cozies

Sheep Coffee Cozies

Baaa! It’s the Sheep Coffee Cup Cozy!

This coffee cup cozy is the latest in my Farm Animal cup cozies line. The textured stitches are so squishy and soft, you’ll feel like you’re holding on to a real sheep! (Okay, maybe not, but we can’t pretend!)

With spring right around the corner, the sheep cozy is a perfect project for anyone looking to make Easter gifts! What says ‘springtime’ better than a brand new baby lamb?

Why buy from The Pointed Hat?

As always, my patterns are tested by real crocheters just like you! My testers look for errors and clarity. They make sure that I have thoroughly explained my pattern techniques and work closely with me to ensure that my patterns consistently result in great finished products!

Not only that, but I support fellow small business owners just like me. If you want to make and sell your physical products that you created with my pattern – go right ahead! All I ask for is that you tag me as the pattern creator when listing your products in an online marketplace. Easy peasy!

Do I have to use the same yarn?

No! In fact, any yarn that’s a medium/4/worsted weight yarn will work. Cotton, bamboo, wool, acrylic – use what you have on hand, or what makes you happy. All you really need to do is check the fit of your cozy on your desired cup. If you find your yarn brand makes the cozy too big, you can go down a hook size. Too small? Go up a hook size. My cozy patterns are so forgiving and versatile!

How much yarn does this pattern use?

This pattern is a perfect scrap buster! It uses LESS than 20yds of yarn total for the entire project! And even though I put safety eyes on my makes, you don’t even need to do that. Feel free to embroider or crochet eyes instead! This has the added bonus of making your cozy safer if you have small children in your home.

It’s worth noting that safety eyes are a choking hazard.


Even though they are called SAFETY eyes, they’re not 100% foolproof. Littles can chew on yarn, stretch the stitches, or even bite the eye and crack it. Any of those things can cause the eye to pull free from the cozy and be ingested. Please make sure you keep any project with safety eyes in it away from children under 3 years of age!

Llamazing!

Let’s face it: llamas are VERY trendy right now. And I can see why! With their adorable faces, furry-fluffy bodies, and sassy attitudes, it’s no wonder these critters have taken the world by storm!

If you’re one of those folks who find these animals irresistible, you’re in luck! Now you can crochet your very own llama (or alpaca, if you’d rather call it that) buddy to take along with you everywhere you go!

Use your favorite worsted/4/medium weight yarns, like cotton, bamboo, or acrylic to complete this project. Or, if you want a little “alpaca-ception”, you could make this with alpaca wool, too. Ha!

Why buy The Pointed Hat Patterns?

My patterns are tested, which means real life crocheters just like you have had the opportunity to try them out, look for errors, point out issues with clarification, etc. That means that every pattern you buy is proven to create a quality product!

Not only that, but when you buy patterns from me, you’re helping support a woman small business owner. Your purchases help me pay bills, AND keep releasing patterns just like this one!

And, if that’s not enough, you are welcome to sell any items you make using my pattern! You want to whip up a bunch of these beauties for sale at a craft fair? You go right ahead, and I hope they sell like hotcakes!

Horse Cup Cozy preview, 3 different colored options on cup of varying sizes

Neighled it!

We’ve all been there: you order your coffee in the drive through, and either it comes with one of those cardboard sleeves (which aren’t very cute, and they’re so wasteful!), or you’re stuck with freezing cold hands while you try to hold onto that iced latte.

That won’t be a problem once you make yourself a Horse Cup Cozy! They’re great for hot or cold drinks, and they fit a variety of cup sizes – whether you choose a small, or an extra large.

Plus, they aren’t limited to coffee cups! You can use them for almost any takeout drink cup, including most fast food cups, travel tumblers, or break room paper coffee cups. Just as long as your cup doesn’t have a handle, you’re golden.

And not only are these cup cozies reusable, you can customize them with whatever yarn color and fiber combination you prefer! You want to use cotton yarn? Go right ahead! Prefer wool, alpaca, or bamboo? That works too! Just as long as you have a 4/medium/worsted weight yarn and a 4.5mm hook, these cozies will work up perfectly!
