Free Crochet Pattern: Ridged Coffee Cup Sleeve

By Rachel Choi – 2 Comments

This coffee cup sleeve is quick and easy to crochet, perfect for beginners. It is made with one of my favorite patterns to create ribbing, single crocheting in the back loops only. The technique creates a stretchy fabric that is easy to slip on coffee cups of different sizes. Included within the pattern are instructions to adjust the size if you need the sleeve to be wider, narrower, longer, or shorter. Crochet a bunch in different colors for yourself or give them away as gifts! Get creative and personalize the sleeve with appliques.
