Cross Your Heart Coffee Cozy - Free Crochet Pattern

Do you love Coffee! I drink way to much so I think this year I'll start a goal of trying to write 12 coffee cozy patterns. One for each month! Here is the 1st. Lets see how far I get. 

This one is Valentines Day themed. It uses fun crossed double crochets to make x's and some fun combination of other simple stitches to make hearts. You'll be sure to fall in love with this one. It's a great stash buster too as you only need small amounts of yarn. Have fun with Valentines Day Colors like pinks and reds, or go with a pastel theme like conversation hearts! Enjoy! 

Cross Your Heart Coffee Cozy

Level: Easy

Materials: 
Worsted Weight Yarn of Choice in 3 colors
I used scraps of Vanna’s Choice, you don’t need much at all! A great stash buster! 
I'm not entirely sure but I think the colors I used are pink, raspberry and silver heather.

*Special Stitch: Crossed Double Crochet - (csdc) -(sk st, dc in next st, working across the front, dc in previous sk st) -This special stitch makes an “X” shaped texture.  Click here to see video tutorial of this stitch -www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHDvbWdrdgk

Round 1: ch 25, hdc in 2nd ch from the hook and each ch across, join with a sl st to 1st hdc to form a circle (Take care not to twist the ch.  You’ll use the tail to join the bottom of the hdc.)

I'm trying to lay of my coffee addiction and drink more tea and water. But I love this and can't wait to see what other patterns you'll make. I can always convert it to a tea mug cozy instead :)
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely. I like how the crossed stitches look like hearts. Aww, you create so many patterns I wish I had more Crochet Time in my day and of course an unlimited amount of yarn.

I like the pattern. I will try it but what I really love is how you say "if you sell items made from my patterns please make and photograph your own work! Thank you! ~Elisabeth". Too true.

Really cute! Love how you simulated heart rows!

I love it! I have a stack of little hearts all in a row next to me now. I guess with valentines day coming up and a multitude of pink yarn left from October I have hearts on the brain. I will be making this over the weekend!

Well I started this last year and failed. Oops. Don't plan on it right now as I have other designs in working on. If you eat visiting the full site there should be a "subscribe by email box" on the right column.
