Knit Coffee Cup Cozies

If there are tea or coffee lovers on your list, the perfect last-minute gift is a great bag of coffee or box of tea, a mug or travel cup and a simple knit cozy.

Coffee cup cozies usually take less than an hour to knit because they are so small, and they’re a great useful gift that adds a little homemade touch to storebought goodies.

There are tons of great coffee cup cozy patterns out there, but here are just a few to get you going:

Andrew Rau’s Cup Cozy is worked in 3×2 rib for a classic look great for guys and gals alike.

The Very Simple Coffee Cup Cozy from Picking Knits is perfect for beginners because it’s worked in Garter Stitch. Use scrap yarn or multicolored yarn to make it a little more fun.

Natural Suburbia’s Cup Cozy is meant to fit around the handle of a tea cup or coffee mug, and it gives you a chance to show off a fun button.

Red Heart has a great little cup cozy worked in a simple textured stitch pattern that’s a perfect use for odd balls and leftovers.

The Fun Because Coffee! pattern from PostStitch uses stitches worked through the back loop for extra texture without a lot of extra effort. So pretty!

Do you have a favorite mug or travel cup cozy pattern? We’d love to hear about it!

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
