Hi Lisa, I used cotton yarn in the picture. Cotton seems to be a bit less stretchy compared to acrylic, although it can still stretch. Also, if you wash the sleeve every so often they should shrink back into their original shape.

Hi Rachel-

I have made a few of these and they have turned out great. I made them out of acrylic yarn scraps from completed projects. I believe you also used acrylic yarn in your sample? However, my friends have said that after a couple uses, the coffee sleeve began to stretch. What type of yarn would you recommend?

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi Sandy, the turn is the same sort of turn as if you were working in rows. You turn to work in the directions you just came from. This is done while working in the round to prevent the seam (made from the chain) from spiraling around the work. You don’t have to turn if you prefer not to.

Hi Rachel-

I have a question about turning in round three. Because this is made in the round, I don’t know what you mean by turning. Could you please give me an explanation?? Thanks!

Hi Danielle, none are necessary for this pattern. The sleeve will stretch slightly to fit the shape of the cup.

So no increases are necessary? I have one started (freehand) using a J hook, double crochet, and working rounds without turning and I was looking at patterns for when and how much to increase for the widening of the cup at the top.
