What will I need to crochet a Mug Cosy?

I have used 100% acrylic yarn, but you can use any Aran/Worsted weight yarn you prefer. For my mug cosies, I have used Stylecraft Special Aran, available from LoveCrochet.

My finished mug cosies measure approximately 8cm/3” high by 25cm/10″ long. They would fit most standard straight walled mugs.

Here I have shown them on 2 different mugs, one measuring 25.5cm in circumference by 9cm high, and the other 26.5cm by 9.5cm.

Gauge: 2″ (5cm) square = 10 sc x 10 rows. I have used a 4.5 hook and Aran (US Worsted) weight yarn.

You’ll need some Aran/Worsted weight yarn – approx. 20g/40yds of your chosen main colour, 10g/20yds of your cape colour, and small amount of text colour.

You will also need a 4.5mm crochet hook or size needed for gauge, a yarn needle, scissors, and a button between 10-20mm in diameter.

FATHER’S DAY CROCHET GIFT

This Father’s Day crochet gift mug cosy pattern, uses the following basic US crochet stitches and terms:

(ch) Chain, (sl st) Slip stitch, (sc) Single Crochet, (hdc) Half Double Crochet, (dc) Double Crochet.

Numbers shown in ( ) indicates the number of stitches you should have at the end of the row/round.

To help you read this pattern, the commas represent each stitch or the number of stitches after x.
For example; {sc, dc,} would mean sc into next st, dc in the following st. Or {sc x3, dc,} would mean sc each into the next 3 stitches, dc in the following st.
Numbers in front of stitches indicate the number of stitches worked into the same stitch, eg. {2dc, dc x5,} would mean work 2 dc sts into the same next stitch, dc in each of the next 5 sts.

Starting ch1s are turning chains only and do not count as stitches. Using your main colour, chain 27 and work along the back bumps of your chain,

We will join our yarn with a sc straight into the first chain stitch – with a slip knot on hook acting as a loop, hook through the ch st, yo and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yo and pull through both loops.

Using your cape colour,

ADD YOUR BUTTON:

You can use any size button that will fit through the button loop. I have used one measuring 18mm in diameter. Attach it to the back bottom corner, so that it sits 1 row in from the side edge and along the bottom edge.

ADD YOUR TEXT:

You can customise your mug cosy with any text you like, or follow one of my Super Dad graphs below.

Father's Day Crochet Gift - Free Super Dad Mug Cosy Crochet Pattern
Use the single crocheted material like a cross stitch grid, following the holes at each stitch to embroider your text, using simple back-stitch lines from one hole to the next.

I have created 2 text font style graphs to choose from, all uppercase letters or with lowercase.

Click on the font sample pictures below, to open up the graph pages.

The columns in the graphs represent each row of sc sts, and the rows represent each sc stitch. Work the graph from right to left, the right being the right hand open edge of the front main piece.
