How To Crochet Mug Cozy

Materials Needed:

Acrylic or cotton yarn
4mm crochet hook

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch

Instructions:

Magic Ring or Alternative Start:
- Start with a magic ring or make a slip knot, chain 4, and join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.
Round 1:
- Chain 3 (this counts as the first double crochet, dc).
- Into the magic ring, work 2 dc. (Total of 3 dc including the chain 3)
- Chain 2.
- Work 3 dc into the magic ring.
- Chain 2.
- Repeat the process 2 more times to make 4 sets of 3 dc with chain 2 spaces between them.
- Close the round with chain 2 and slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain 3.
- Pull the tail to tighten the center. You should now have a small square.
Round 2:
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
- Into the chain 2 space from the previous round, work 2 dc, chain 2, and 3 dc (corner made).
- Skip the next 3 dc and work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc in the next chain-2 space (next corner).
- Repeat this process for the remaining corners.
- To finish the round, chain 2 and slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain 3.
Round 3:
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
- Into the chain 2 space from the previous round, work 2 dc.
- In the space between groups of 3 dc from the previous round, work 3 dc.
- In the next chain 2 space, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc (corner).
- Continue this pattern around the square: work 3 dc in side spaces, and 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc in each corner.
- Finish the round with 3 dc in the last chain 2 space, chain 2, and slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain 3.
Making the Square Larger (Optional):
- If you want the cozy to be larger, you can add more rounds, continuing the established pattern of working 3 dc in each side space and 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc in each corner.
Creating the Side Rows:
- Choose one side of the square to start creating the rows.
- Row 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), then work 2 dc into the same space. In the next space between groups of 3 dc, work 3 dc. Continue to the end of the row.
- Row 2: Chain 3, turn. Work 3 dc in each space between groups of 3 dc to the end. Work the last dc into the third chain of the starting chain 3.
- Repeat Rows 1 and 2 to add a total of 6 rows on this side.
- Do the same on the opposite side.
Creating Button Loops:
- Chain 20.
- Skip 3 sets of 3 dc groups, and join with the next stitch on the opposite side with a single crochet.
- Work single crochets evenly around the edges of the cozy.
- Repeat for the opposite side, ensuring both loops are aligned.
Finishing:
- Cut and weave in all yarn tails securely.
