Christmas Coffee Cosy

"To make the Christmas coffee cosy I used DK (weight 3) yarn in 3 different colours. I choose taupe for the cosy, then green and red for the holly appliqué. Also I used two different Crochet hooks. Firstly a 4mm hook for the coffee cosy, then a 3mm hook for the holly. Be sure to check your gauge before starting if you want your cosy to fit your cup and your appliqué to fit your cosy. As I mentioned earlier I used acrylic yarn as it has a little more stretch than some other fibres. This ensures it will stretch to fit different sized cups. The crochet pattern is pretty easy overall. You’ll need to know your basic crochet stitches as well as the cluster stitch. You’ll also need to know how to work into front and back posts as well as being able to increase and decrease. The coffee cosy is worked up in one piece and then the appliqué needs to be sewn on. The appliqué is made in 3 parts so you will need to be confident at sewing to complete the project."
