Knit a Cozy for Your Coffee with a Twist

November 8, 2016 by Sarah White

Easy knit coffee cozy patternI’m starting to think about gift knitting a little more, and this easy pattern for a knit coffee cup cozy from Knits’ End would be a great place to start.

You can make them in a bunch of different colors for everyone on your list, and they would be great teacher gifts that they will actually use.

The pattern is a ribbing variation that has a little mock cable twist in it to make it a little more interesting. It’s also knit flat and seamed to make it really easy to knit. You could probably make a whole stack of these in a weekend or two of knitting.

Do you have any projects you love to mass produce for gifts or the holiday bazaar? I’d love to hear about them!

Super Fun Colorwork Socks to Knit

When I knit socks (which sadly I have not done in a while; need to get a new pair on the needles soon!) I generally stick to pretty simple designs and colorwork that isn’t all that detailed. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love a fancy sock, I’m also just pretty lazy and I figure a project worked on size 0 or 1 US needles is going to take a long time even without the added work of intricate colorwork, so why make it more complicated?

But there are definitely socks out there I’d be willing to make an exception for, and I think Tangled Bliss by Annette Schleicher may just be one of them. 

If you can’t tell from looking, this is decidedly an advanced knitting pattern. There’s brioche for the cuffs, complex looking colorwork done with the ladderback jacquard technique, multiple charts, and colors changing everywhere. 

There are links to tutorials for all the special skills in the pattern, but still it would help to have a handle on these concepts before you get started. 

The pattern uses three colors of light fingering weight yarn at a whopping 31 stitches per 4 inches/10 cm (that’s 7.75 stitches per inch/2.5 cm). 

Would you believe me if I told you that this pattern was designed for a speed knitting contest? Speed would be the last thing on my mind. 

But again, I think all the work for these fancy socks would be worth it. I love hoe the colorwork looks like an old tile floor, and think of the bragging rights when you tell people you made them yourself. (Though of course you did; have you ever seen store-bought socks that look anything like this?)

Best of all, this pattern is available for free on Ravelry, so there’s no reason not to give it a try if you’ve got the skills. If you do, I’d love to hear about it!
