This cabled coffee cozy from Rusty Boyd is a great beginner knitting pattern, and it's an eco-friendly way to wrap your coffee cup!

Cabled Coffee Cozy

Materials:

Gauge: 3.5 purl stitches to an inch (approximately 12 stitches to 4 inches in pattern)

Stitch Pattern "Mock Cable Rib"
Rnds 1, 2, & 4: *P5, k3*
Rnd 3: *P5, sl1, k2, YO, psso the k2 & YO*

Abbreviations:

Instructions:

Cast on 32 stitches and join for working in the round being careful not to twist the cast on stitches.
Work in Pattern for a total of 3 repeats (12 rows).
Bind off loosely. I love to use Elizabeth Zimmerman's Sewn bind off for these projects, because it makes a stretchy top for a variety of sized cups.
Wet block over a tumbler to get the coffee cozy shape (a little bigger at the top than at the bottom).
