Crochet To-Go Cup Cozy

I simply had to have it. I couldn't find this size, and type, to-go cup anywhere else. All the 24 oz to-go cups I could find were more like thermoses with insulating properties, handles, and weird shapes and lids. I wanted a cup that is light weight, easy to clean, and was as close to being like the styrofoam cups with lids that I was so used to using for so many years. Yup, I am talking about the Dunkin Donuts 24 oz reusable to-go cup. To my knowledge they only offer it once a year and I knew I had to have it despite the fact that I am not fond of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. I simply wanted their cup so when they became available again, we went there with our coupon in hand and purchased it! It is  my absolute favorite to-go cup! I use it every morning on my way to work when I stop at the local gas station and fill it up for $1.25 - less than what Dunkin' Donuts would have charged me! 

The only problem with the mug was, well, it says Dunkin' Donuts on it. Of course I had to change it with a nifty little crochet cozy! It was super simple to make using some of my leftover yarn around the house.  

Dimensions for 24 oz. Cup: 3.75" width at bottom, 6.0" width at top, and 7.5" high.

Supplies needed:

• 4.5 mm hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• About 5-6 ounces of any color yarn (I used Red Heart that I already had)
• About 1 ounce any other color yarn for top and bottom

Here is the basic pattern made with red heart yarn:

• Chain 30 and connect to make a loop (Bottom diameter measures approximately 3.75".)
• Single crochet in each stitch around, mark your start, and continue around and around with the single crochet. Every 3 rows increase by one (just do 2 single crochet in one stitch)
• Continue for approximately 37 rows (this will depend upon how tightly you crochet). You basically want it to about 7.5" inches high. You can try it on the cup as you go. You want the holder to fit very tightly because it will stretch out over time (top diameter measures approximately 6.0".).
• When it is the right height, knot off. Turn it inside out (the back side will show). I did this because I wanted a different look. If you prefer the other side, then use that instead!
• Using an alternate color slip knot to attach to the top and single crochet around as follows: do two regular single crochet in the next two stitches, then do one long single crochet (go down 2 rows and insert). Repeat pattern all the way around.
• Connect, chain one and single crochet around one more time. Knot off.
• Turn the holder around and do the exactly the same thing around the entire bottom of the holder.
• Use the needle to weave all loose ends. 

Super simple and I love it!
