How to Knit a Coffee Cozy Sweater

[@michaelshawn5103]

I love this pattern, but a note to everyone before they make this: the pattern that is given is not the pattern that is used for the cozies that are being pictured. When making the body, the pattern instructs you to make a 2x2 rib for 4 rows, then a stitch of your choice for 16 rows, then a 2x2 rib for 4 rows to finish it off. The pictures show small to-go mugs, but if you follow this instruction, it will make a cozy for a large to-go mug and the arms will look a little wonky because they are smaller than they should be. I immediately knew that the 16 rows of stitches were too much when i placed the arms on and they looked disproportionate. I looked back at the photos of her cozies and they are actually 12 rows of stitches between the 2 ribs. So what you need to do in order to match her photos exactly, for a small to-go mug, is do 4 rows of 2x2 rib, 12 rows of your choice, and then 4 rows of 2x2 rib to finish it off. If you do end up wanting to make the 16-row pattern for a larger to-go mug, I suggest adding 1 more row to your arms in order to make them look proportional to the body.

[@michaelshawn5103]

I also just realized that the pocket is too big too. The photos show the pockets at 8 rows of stitches, 6 stitches in each row.

I know, right?!? Thanks! 💖

[@sp4874]

Thanks - have made one for a Secret Santa gift at work. After finishing a scarf which took literally months to complete, this was a really fun quick and satisfying project.

[@BimmerBabe]

i love these vids. you are teaching so much while showing how to make something. i can knit and i can purl. i love how you say" do a 2x2 rib" then you break down its as simple as 2k 2p. Thanks again

[@macdaiddavidson8051]

I’m going to make these for my coworkers for Christmas!! This is just the kind of project I love. 😁

This is a lovely beginner knitting project. Thanks

[@01Kimsterr]

Going to try to adapt this for my loom knittting! Can't wait to give them as Christmas gifts! Thank you so much for creating this video!

[@Rennagayle]

Love this! I'm not good at seaming, so I'll knit the body in the round, then just seam on the arms to it.

[@studioknit]

Sounds like a plan! Have fun!

[@lettygilarski583]

So easy to make i used a size 8 cuz i don't have a 7 they still came out so cute Thank You for the Video i love it

[@studioknit]

Great to know #8 works out, too!!! Hooray!

[@helenakathedollyworldunive835]

[@studioknit]

Hi, +Helen L - Thanks so much! Hope you're doing great!

[@daniellemeverden5382]

[@marlenetremblay4087]

That is really nice but I don't understand how we can do the left thumbs .can you explain to me someone please because I want to do it for my kids for christmas please

[@TrueHarmony51]

Thank you for sharing this idea! I love watching your knitting instructions, as they are so clear and easy to follow along :) I can't wait to start making the coffee cozy gifts they are so cute

[@studioknit]

Wonderful!! Happy knitting to you, Karen!

[@bessie6456]

It looks like it would be so hard, but its actually quite simple! I am going to make these for Christmas for my family

[@studioknit]

Yes, exactly! Happy knitting to you, Miss Artsy Jess!

[@aliciahoule1259]

could I use a size 8 needle if that is what I have? And should I use my size 6 for the pocket and arms or stay with the 8 for the whole thing?

[@christinawouters9381]

Also, do you sew up the thumb when tacking the arm together? I can’t tell.

[@Hop3fulRomantic]

I love this pattern! It’s sooo cute and easy and knits really quickly! I’ve already knitted some Santa ones for work! 😃 Question…I tried knitting it on double pointed needles casting on the same number of stitches as in the tutorial but bizarrely it’s come up much smaller than when I knitted it on straight needles even though I cast on the exact same about of stitches and the needle sizes are all the same. Is this normal for work on double knitting needles to come up smaller than on straight needles? And if so, how many stitches would you recommend going up by when knitting on double knitting needles ? 😊

[@alisharp86]

how adorable!!

[@studioknit]

Hi, +Alison Sharp - Thanks!!

[@mennasaied4720]

This is literally the best mug cozy ever...the problem is I can't seem to find any mugs without handles. is there a way to make this with a mug with a handle?

[@suzettemilliren5706]

these are sooooo adorable....now if I can find time to sit a short time and create!! Thank you so much for the instructions or guide to make some!! :)

[@studioknit]

Have fun!

[@evelynt.8487]

[@AggieMack]

I love this model to keep my coffee hot. But I would like to be able to make it for my mug which has a handle, (like all mugs) . Can someone tell me how to adapt? Thank you very much for your help

[@zubaidaraza2894]

Adorable

[@PN-sk3ve]

This is a super cute idea and a greate gift to give to family, friends and even co-workers. Thank you for sharing =)

[@studioknit]

Thanks so much, +Pretty Noona!!!

[@PN-sk3ve]

+Studio Knit You welcome =)

[@tanishadee3883]

Would you happen to have a crochet version of this? 🥺

[@vvolpe572]

Totally cute!

[@haleyd6641]

Is it possible for you to make a video of you sewing up the seams? I find the arms (particularly the thumbs) hard to seam up. Super simple pattern, and o cute and wonderful!

[@sakininbetween1955]

this is my question.

[@Skittles20013]

Definitely gonna make these for Christmas! Do you have stitch tutorial vids?

[@daniellemariana4667]

that's so cute and easy! i'm starting it right now :D thanks~

[@studioknit]

+Danielle Mariana Awesome! How's it going so far?

[@reginathompson5509]

I really like these but I don"t know how to knit . But I do know how to crochet is there a pattern for them in crochet version?

[@kchong54]

Love your cute projects! Thank you for the great tutorials :)

[@3693-n9f]

[@myworldinbooks9718]

Thank you very much for sharing this cool idea :)

[@studioknit]

+My World in English And thank YOU so very much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@ThatDarlaGirl]

Too cute!

[@dakotabradley3160]

If I were to make this pattern fit a coffee mug with a handle how would I modify this pattern?

[@bittersweet82]

When you seam the edges, just seam the top and bottom to leave a gap for the handle.

[@octobercobra2]

Thank you!

[@queencooljewel2433]

soooo cute!!!!

[@studioknit]

+QueenCoolJewel Thanks! Love your name!! 👑😎💍

[@queencooljewel2433]

Thank you! Lol :D

[@christinelewin654]

Hi! I am a total beginner but I am going to try this! I have needles in size 8 and 7.5. Do you think those are ok or do I need to get size 7 to do this right?

[@studioknit]

Hi, Christine - Yes, totally. Use what you've got and it should work up to fit totally fine.

[@sadhanasikarwar1437]

very good

[@chickenkat496]

love this!!!

[@studioknit]

+Katelyn Chang Awesome! Thanks so much for watching!

[@tommy1117yo]

[@janeclermon83]

[@anazhen3854]

So cute! Can you please give me a link for your written pattern of this? Thanks.God Bless.

[@MiSSiABLET]

Love it! Thinking of what to make my friend and I'm going to make her this and buy her a hot chocolate from the school canteen! Thank you!

[@studioknit]

Hi, +Morgan Snailz - That is such a cute and thoughtful gift idea! I'd love to see a pic when you're done! Happy holidays to you and thanks for being such a sweet Studio Knit supporter!

[@MiSSiABLET]

+Studio Knit I made the all of the body last night (in about an hour or so, I'm not very fast as purling yet) and I've almost finished the pocket (which I will use for an actual pocket to give her the money for a hot chocolate) and if I'm quick I might be able to get the arms done tonight! Happy Holidays to you as well! :)

[@studioknit]

+Morgan Snailz That sounds so cute!!! Really happy you're having fun with it!

[@M2knit]

thank you ..

[@studioknit]

+MAHA AHMED And thanks so much for watching my channel!!!

[@janeclermon83]

What kind of yarn do use for the cozies

[@christinawouters9381]

The pattern on the website says to stockinette the pocket for 8 rows, but the video says 6. Which is correct?

[@TrueHarmony51]

Hi I live in Canada and unfortunately they won't ship to me as they don't have international shipping to Canada. What other website could I try to buy from or what other yarn could I use to make the coffee cup cozy. Thank you very much!

[@studioknit]

Almost any brand will work! Check out Lion brand online!!

[@TrueHarmony51]

Hi thank you, yes I have just discovered them.

[@angelcardona2768]

If you don't mind telling me.... What nail polish are you wearing in the video????

[@studioknit]

+Angelic Demon8 Haha, great question! It's my favorite neutral color - L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Color Nude Privee Collection, 600 Doutzen's Nude - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013X0TYVO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B013X0TYVO&linkCode=as2&tag=stukni-20&linkId=L2ARBT6UYGR4XH7F

[@kigoneo]

Is casting on that way necessary, or can we just do it the regular way?

[@studioknit]

Cast on however you'd like!! Have fun!

[@amyleighmundie7514]

Thank you

[@bowling_with_yarn]

Super cute! Can't wait to try this :)

[@studioknit]

[@thegryffindor1258]

[@RavenClaw-js1mt]

Kristen, this is going to make an awesome Christmas gift for my parents, they're Starbuck fiends :-) Quick question, your scizzors, may I ask where those can be found. They're so cute!

[@studioknit]

Hi, +Raven Claw1280 - Oh, awesome! They will love it! Yes, I love my scissors, too! I got them at a local fabric shop in San Francisco called Britex. I found them online here, too: bit.ly/1vA5wue

[@studioknit]

+!! ぶたまん Thank you!! 💗

[@oliviashaffer24]

Can you do this in crochet

[@hanblurryface8605]

I did this with size 9 needles, and was worried it would turn out too big. Turned out way too small. It won’t even fit around my water bottle. Why is this?

[@ruthpark2587]

Could I use size 6 or 8 US I don't have size 7

[@studioknit]

+Ruth Park Yes!! 💖

[@hanneb.f.1966]

So cute :)

[@melodyc4491]

It is 12 rows of the middle section.

[@carolynb2220]

Are the little arms stuffed

[@studioknit]

+Carolyn B Great question - No! They do look like they are stuffed, but they just quickly shape up into little arms when seaming together. I did tuck my couple yarn ends into them, but no stuffing required!

[@rymmkhlf7928]

I love you thanks 😘😘😘😘

[@picolascage7762]

anybody know the stitch on the green sweater?

[@atiayousuf5207]

hello how are u? hope that u r fine. today I have a request to make. can u give a knitting video of feeding bottle cover. thank you.

[@studioknit]

Hi, +Atia Yousuf - Wow, that is such a great idea! Like a baby bottle? Brilliant! It's on my list!

[@atiayousuf5207]

+Studio Knit thank you. .. your knitting patterns are very easy to make and your description about the patterns is so clear. you are a good teacher. love your knitting videos

[@tammyqp]

in the last rows it says row 12 purl and row 13 knit and row 14 purl then you BO in your instructions or do you just knit all 4 rows. was there a mistake in the instructions. need help I'm in the middle of this part.

[@studioknit]

+Tammy A It's correct as written. You continue the pattern in the stockinette stitch as specified. Let me know if there's something specific that's confusing to you!

[@amyleighmundie7514]

Can you do a how to knit a 3D cactus

[@studioknit]

+Noor Fatima Bummer!

[@JessicaPerez-hy2tw]

I used a Bobby pin

[@noory6407]

THECUTESTPANCAKE 129 i tried that, but it was too big so i used a paer clip!

[@Panda-hd8fe]

i don't have a tapestry needle, so when i need to seam something up i use a crochet hook to pull the yarn trough.. But it takes a lot longer

[@rodytimoce3518]

😱😱😱

[@misspiggy2418]

Yeah my dude isn’t getting thumbs 😂😂 too confusing that for new knitters.

[@amyleighmundie7514]

Do you have Snapchat 👱🏻‍♀️
