crochet coffee cup cuff…

What is better than going out, walking in the crisp snow with a steaming hot cup of coffee? Not a lot. Some-how coffee always does seem to taste better when bought from a coffee shop, maybe it is just the way I make my coffee at home. Over the last few weeks, I have found myself indulging in this habit way too many times, so I thought if this was going to continue, I may as well do it in style: and crochet myself a cuff…

Like it? It was really quick to crochet. If you want to crochet yourself one, here’s how I did it. Gather together the yarn you want to use…

I went for rainbow colours, but it is down to whatever you have to hand. This crochet project is great for using up ends; just make sure the yarn is all the same weight. Crochet a chain, the length needs to fit around the cup…

The number of chains, is not too important, as the pattern can be adjusted to suit. Next crochet a simple zig-zag pattern.

To do this, crochet seven trebles in the seven stitches below, then crochet three trebles together, crochet seven trebles in the next seven stitches, in the next stitch crochet one treble, one chain and one treble. Repeat this to the end of the chain. It doesn’t matter if you don’t complete a full repeat. Change the colour of your yarn for each row…

Keep going until you have seven rows. To do this keep crocheting seven trebles in the seven stitches below, then crochet three trebles together, crochet seven trebles in the next seven stitches, in the next stitch crochet one treble, one chain and one treble into the chain space…
