Thank you! Yea I noticed my mistake way too late after it had been uploaded 😚 But I corrected it in the description.

[@carolegswizzle5377]

Crochet Me Knots No worries, It happens. I should of checked the description first like I usually do..lol. I was doing back posts and it looked so different. I also subscribed to your channel💖

Beautiful! Thank u so much 💓

I like this stitch. As someone who has not ever attempted this stitch, it would help me to see it demonstrated with a light-colored yarn.

Im loving the display !

Finally I know what a Bobby pin is! In South Africa we call it a clip. Love your cosy. I'll definitely be making it.

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Haha! That's really cool. I have no idea why we call it a bobby pin lol 😆 thank you!!

[@emilywenger1819]

Also if youre making them for iced coffee keep the pattern the same but if youre making it for hot coffee cups and want to extend the width, make sure to use a smaller hook size for the starting chains and starting sc. Wider version slid right off the hot coffee cup lol

I'm a new crocheter--this pattern is so cute and easy! Maybe next time use light colored yarn in your tutorial, it's a little hard to see what you are doing. Thanks for sharing!💜💜💜

These also make good watch covers. I bang my Apple Watch & it’s too expensive to wreck. So I use them to protect it.

Great idea!

[@lisawashburn1315]

The alpine stitch is one of my favorites! I’m curious as to why you didn’t work it in the round? Either way love this project!

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Thank you!! I did try it in the round at first before recording the tutorial but the cozy started to lose its shape as it got bigger so it looked a bit v-shaped and it didn't work very well for the cozy. This way it maintained it's shape so much better. Could've just been me and the way I crochet a bit loser as the rounds go but if you try it in the round I'd love to hear how it comes out!! Thanks for watching!! 🥰🥰

[@lisawashburn1315]

@@thecrochetmeknots I made a couple working in the round, came out perfect! I tend to crochet tight. Thanks so much for your lovely tutorial! ❤️

[@winniechan8722]

Good evening! I just want to say thank you for this tutorial for the coffee cozy, it’s a cute pattern. I just made this using the 5.0 crochet hook but it’s not wide enough for the coffee cup, it’s about 2 1/2 inches shorter in width. I really want to do another one but can you please tell me about how many more chains to add. I would like to make three of these for a Christmas grab for Thursday. Thank you!

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Hi! Thank you!! ... The length of the cozy should be between 9" - 9 1/4" long so yarn thickness and hook size doesn't really matter as long as you can get that gauge. People crochet differently, some tightly and others loosely so I wouldn't know how many more chains to add in your case. I hope knowing the length helps you to add the correct number of chains you need to get that size. Also if you printed the cup you could use that as a guide 👍🤗 let me know if that works!! Or if you have any other questions ☺

[@winniechan8722]

@@thecrochetmeknots My gauge and length was correct with your tutorial. When I went to slip it onto a Dunkin’ Donuts cup it wasn’t wide enough. How much longer should I do my chain?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Hard for me to say since I don't know the actual size of the dunkin donuts cup but what I would do is make a foundation chain to go all the way around the Dunkin donuts cup. The pattern calls for an even number +1 so just make a chain and measure it around the actual Dunkin donuts cup. Once you have a foundation chain long enough to go around the cup you can start crocheting. Now if you want more height on the cozy meaning a taller cozy then just repeat rows 2 & 3 until it's high enough. ☺

Are there written instructions for it please ? Thank you

[@mrs32509]

Welp! I didn't read the description haaaha mine does not look like yours, I used a thick yarn so couldn't see my stitches very well and thought all along it's your yarn that's why it looks different. Off to try again, with a thinner yarn too. Loving your cozy cup tutorials and patterns! I've made 4 today so far. So much fun to make something in so little time, thank you for the pdf too!

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Oh no!! Haha sounds totally like something I would do. I get so excited to get going i tend to skip certain "important" steps lol 😂... I'm so glad you found my channel and it's helped you make these cute little things 🥰🤗 keep going!!! 💪

[@everythingellie309]

Very cute but mine turned out way small! I did the 30 chain length but it won’t fit on any of my cups! Any suggestions for my next time trying it?!

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Yea some cups are bigger than the standard paper cups. What you can do is make your chain and wrap it around the cup you're making it for and chain until you get the right size going all the way around but not overlapping, keeping in mind the multiple you need for the stitch you're crocheting. Hope this helps!! 🤞👍

Where do you get your cardboard you put your cozy onto?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

It's card stock you can get at any office supply store or anywhere they sell printing paper. 🤗

[@teresagilmore674]

I love this pattern. I made one with the same stitch count that you did and printed out the template cup but the cozy ended up being way bigger than the template cup. Any ideas?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Was the template printed at full scale? Because it should fit loosely but not way bigger than the cup template. The foundation chain should measure about 8" long. If that's right on then maybe check the printing scale and make sure it's at 100%. If the foundation chain is too long/short you can adjust it by adding/subtracting chains and keeping the multiple or simply adjusting your hook size. We all crochet in different tensions. Some looser than others so that may be why. I hope this helps!!

[@teresagilmore674]

@@thecrochetmeknots can you give me the measurements of your template? I redid the cozy with fewer foundation stitches to make the 8 in chain but I still want to make sure the template is printed correctly. There's not a setting when I print that tells me if its at 100%

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Ok the measurements are 7 1/4" from base to top of lid. 4 1/4" wide right under the lid and 3" at the base.

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Also make sure your printing it on the "landscape" orientation not "portrait" sometimes they are automatically downloaded as portrait and that's not what we need. 👍

[@vovocrochet]

cute ♥️

[@shapat9739]

What cups actually it fits?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

They will fit any size paper coffee cup

[@carolkoussaya1543]

Adorable pattern, but I’m a bit confused as on row three it looks like a front post double crochet did I see it wrong?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

It is! I called out the wrong stitch on the video...... I corrected myself in the description. 🤷‍♀️

[@Crfting4fn]

Can you use acrylic yarn or does it have to be cotton? Thx! Great video!

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Thank you so much!! For these acrylic is just fine. I recommend cotton only for things that are constantly wet or in direct heat like potholders and washcloths. 😊

[@annastojsavljevic6401]

Hi! I don’t know if I missed it but what size hook are you using? ☺️

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Hi!! I used a 5mm hook 😊

[@rosanellysanchez1609]

Where did you get the tag at?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

On ebay 😉

[@samanthakelley1138]

Does this have to be cotton?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Not necessarily. While you are holding something "hot" it will not scorch the yarn itself so you can use acrylic if you want. I definitely recommend cotton for potholders, oven mitts and washcloths or dish towels. Whenever there's water or direct heat. I've used acrylic on these for years and never had an issue. Ultimately it's your choice 😊👍

[@emilywenger1819]

It would be nice if you could tell us how to make the alpine stitch wider instead of telling us to just do more sc. I cant figure it out and this is way too short.

[@thecrochetmeknots]

The thing is, you can't make the stitch itself wider. You can only make more of them to accommodate the size you need. If the cozy is too short, you need to work more rows until you get to the height you want. If it's not fitting around your cup and it's too tight, just add more chains in your foundation to reach the width you need. Measuring the foundation chain around the cup before any work is done is key to making sure it fits for you. The tutorial size is a basic example but not a universal size. Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@thecrochetmeknots]

You can add one more row of alpine stitches by instead of doing the 2 sc rows at the end just work one and repeat row 5 alternating the regular double and back post doubles. Then just finish off like in the tutorial with 2 rows of sc.

[@deniser362]

I was just wondering...why say crochet 30 plus 1? Why not say crochet 31? I love this pattern but the way!!

[@thecrochetmeknots]

Thank you! I said 30+1 because the alpine stitch is crocheted in multiples of 2 so you always refer to your chain count for the multiple plus any additional chains to start.

[@kariejo4614]

That's actually a front post stitch, not a back post stitch. Either way, it's a beautiful pattern. Thank you! 🧶🧵

How is a cup cozy safer against covid?

[@thecrochetmeknots]

I said that for me personally I like to use them not only for hot beverages but also because the cup is handled by someone else before getting to you so I either sanitize the cup (which is not always ideal for me for lack of wipes etc) or I just put on my cozy so I don't have to sanitize my hands every time I pick it up to take a drink. Plus it's washable and reusable. It's my own personal practice against germs not advocating for it as a preventative for COVID. 👍
