How to Loom Knit a Mug Coaster Cozy (DIY Tutorial)

[@namevale8835]

Thank You for such a great idea. Love this, I have made myself a set of 4, all in different colors. These really help keep my tea warm on a chilly day.

[@namevale8835]

I think your mug cozy is the best. There are many pretty ones, but yours...It has a bottom/coaster which in my opinion is what helps keep your drink warm. Most tutorials for mug cozys do not have bottoms, or are small bands just to protect your fingers from a hot cup, for looks and personalization. How is your drink staying warm then? Is that not the point of a cozy to keep a drink warm or cold? These mug cozys really work! They are cute and functional, just they way I like things that are hand made. Thank you so much for the fun easy tutorial.

My coworker/friend loves my knitted items, so for her bridal shower she requested that I surprise her with some kitchen knits. I am so excited to add a couple of these to her gift bag!

[@JenaHuffman]

I love this! ❤ Thank you for such a lovely tutorial and you went slow enough for me to understand. I know this is an easy project but I’ve seen other videos where the person goes so fast and it is hard for me to understand. I also like that this cozy has a bottom part to it. ❤

Now, I know what is gonna be my new product Thanks for sharing

[@bxgal347]

Wow great idea for winter when it's cold

[@marionstearns9501]

Just made my first mug cup cozy thanks for you're awesome guidance.

[@melissaeibner8462]

This was a great video! I made some end of the year teacher appreciation gifts. I can't wait to make some more.

[@Tuteate]

Melissa Eibner we loved your results! We have posted them here: www.tuteate.com/2014/10/29/cubre-tus-tazas-con-fundas-posavasos/

[@wandaking3909]

They are beautiful !

[@tinabuckner4928]

Melissa Eibner Hello Melissa I was wondering on the tutorial when you go opposite directions. Do you loom all the round or loom halfway on some of the rows?? I’m trying to figure out how to make the opening for the cup holder.

[@namevale8835]

I really love this tutorial, thank you so much. I am working on a fourth so I have a set.

[@oriannastad]

This was my first project and I love it! Thanks!

[@Tuteate]

Great! Glad to know you did it :)

[@samanthawoolsey4027]

I loved this project! Thank you it’s my go to when I have extra yarn from other projects.

[@pixiii01]

Another simply amazing tutorial. I cannot thank you enough for your easy to learn videos. I made one and it was a bit big for my tea/coffee mugs so I will reduce the amount of rows (less than 10) and hopefully it will fit them. It might take me a few tries but I will get there eventually, You've made the tutorial so easy to do and to resize according to any mug. My best regards to you! xo

[@dianedurbin9569]

Great Video. Easy to follow. I think I am going to try this. Great Job also. Happy Looming!

[@vking1144]

I love this great gift idea!!!

[@Tuteate]

[@heathermace8765]

I have some looms and did not know how to make it user friendly. Thank you for your help.

[@jackiesegarra9113]

Love this video made a few and gave it to family members and they loved it thank you

[@kathleenstebbins6415]

I love your video, very easy to follow, great pace and a great project!

[@mjfindlay1968]

Awesome, thanks...I have the large refill cups from the gas station. I have been wanting to know how to make a cozy or them. I think a little bigger and it could work. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tuteate]

MaryJean Boston thanks for commenting! We'd love to see your version for those refill cups! :) If you want to, you can send us a picture to [e-mail] when you finish

[@wandaking3909]

I'm loving this ! Thank you for your wonderful videos !

[@4614Maria]

Ciao Tuteate! Mi sono avvicinata al knit loom da pochissimo tempo e ne sono gia' conquistata grazie anche ai tuoi video, che trovo davvero belli e utili, mi piacciono i movimenti delle tue mani, la musica, la chiarezza e facilità delle spiegazioni... grazie!

[@Tuteate]

+4614Maria grazie per il tuo messaggio :)

[@dsnowden67]

Loved this video! Made one to give as a gift and have been asked to make several more for a craft sale. I am going to see if i can make a teapot cozy using the same instructions

[@Tuteate]

deana snowden great! We'd love to see your result when you have it, feel free to send us pictures to [e-mail] if you want :)

[@lauraalbertson6600]

Great video, love the pattern. I wish I'd seen this before Christmas as these are very quick to make and will make great gifts. I can't wait to make more. :)

[@Tesdinic]

The video was very clear and straight forward and a great beginners project! i still somehow made it without the proper opening except for at the top, but I think that is my own fault. :P

[@TheStoicManVlog]

Excellent work!!!!! Thanks for the lesson!

[@amandasullivan4548]

[@Tuteate]

Wutisfashion23 thank you!! We'd love to see your result :) Feel free to send us a pic to [e-mail] if you want

[@joeystoycity3140]

Finally after 4 days I got it lol

[@tinabuckner4928]

Hello Love ❤️ your tutorials. When you go in opposite directions are you looming around the entire loom as a row. Or are you sometimes stopping midway??

[@ssuedart28]

Do you think it will end up being too big if I use a round loom with 28 pegs? Its the only round loom that I have :/

[@OneDirection_1994]

hi two questions: was the wool thin or thick and what size mug does this fit?

[@hebastore8988]

😍😍

[@sharonpritchardshepherd9279]

I've just got some tshirt yarn, very cheap ( son works on yarn market stall) do u think if I used a very large loom , I could make a large barsket with this pattern ? I made two mug costs for christmas pressy, gt pattern xx

[@123LilDebbie]

Couldn't you get the same results with drawsting caston so you don't have to take it off the loom. Thats the way I make my Koozies and they turned out the same. I'm going to try it that way. Im pretty sure it will work out just fine. I suggest you guys give it a try too.

[@Tuteate]

Debra A thank you for your suggestion! We'll try that, let's see if we can get the same result :) Thank you!

[@gaildaniel647]

should I use a bulky yarn in doing this project?

[@Tuteate]

+Gail Daniel hi! Yes, bulky yarn would be fine :) Here we used a yarn called Phildar Rapido which is recommended for knitting needles of 6mm - 7mm

[@namevale8835]

Yes use bulky yarn. I used Lion Brand Yarn "Wool-Ease Thick & Quick"

[@mrss4105]

Hi... What is the best type of yarn to use for this? Most of the yarn is really fuzzy. Thanks.

[@FJB0623]

Thanks for the video. When I copied and pasted the url the website was in Spanish. Is there an English version?

[@Tuteate]

Franklin Butler hi! It's only in Spanish for the moment, sorry, but maybe you could browse it using Google Chrome and automatic translator...

[@nancya2490]

What is the best yarn to use for hot beverage

[@fairytale.reborn_nurseryjs7359]

Nancy A a thick one

[@BA-pt1lt]

hi! thanks for the tutorial! what editing app do you use?

[@BA-pt1lt]

ok. thanks you!

[@Tuteate]

crafty gamer hi! Yes, iMovie :)

[@BA-pt1lt]

thank you Tuteate !

[@casamalshi4427]

Whats the formula if i want to work on a 36 pegs loom to make bigger round?

[@Tuteate]

+Zara Ramadi hi! We haven't tried that yet, but I guess you would need to keep working decreases. For example, you could divide your loom in groups of 6 pegs. Reduce #2 to #1, then #4 to #3, then #6 to #5, then maybe #3 to #1,...

[@chonkbee]

Hi there I was wondering how would I make this cozy for a "to go" coffee cup? Or like for a glass bottle or soda can? Please let me know. Thank you

[@carinevanalderweireldt8972]

Chelbee Trickey

[@chonkbee]

Carine Vanalderweireldt ??

[@sushmanedungadi8069]

Hello can we make this on a long loom Peace let me know

[@erikalaskowski9150]

Hi, if I made this without the button & opening, would it fit a beer bottle?

[@Tuteate]

Erika Laskowski hi! Yes, it could fit :) (If your result gets wider than expected, then try using thicker yarn).

[@nanahernandez3183]

will keep my beverage warm?

[@JB-vd8bi]

Lol no it's so you don't burn your hand

[@MariaDellaporta]

Would this work on a rectangular loom? I know I can make hats with it but would it work for this too?

[@Tuteate]

Maria Dellaporta hello! Maybe :) Maybe you could use a part of the rectangular loom where you have 12 pegs at each side (as if you had the 24 pegs we are using on this video)

[@trixsam]

Would I be able to create this with regular knitting instead of loom knitting?

[@Tuteate]

trixsam hi! Maybe you could, but we don't know how sorry...

[@adrianaquinones6675]

What kind of yarn do you use

[@clarebuxton5780]

what size loom did u use please x

[@lindapoole2484]

Is there a printed pattern for the cozy coasters?

[@bcital12]

Is there anyway to make a complete circular one on the loom? For taller cups?

[@Tuteate]

+belinda cital hi! Sure, if you don't want the "hole" part, you don't work in flat panel (keep working in rounds as you will see we did before that part). And you can work more rows or rounds to make it higher.

[@AzRavnGrl]

+belinda cital That would be a boot cuff.

[@AzRavnGrl]

+AzRavnGrl Oh sorry, didn't realize this had a bottom, also!

[@adrianaquinones6675]

What kind of yarn i need

[@annejenkins4519]

Is this a 5 gauge yarn?

[@kaylaellis1669]

How would you go about making just the cozy part and not the coaster part attached?

[@Tuteate]

Kayla Ellis hi! You could just make the cozy in the following way: cast on all the pegs and then skip directly to here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKSVk6Brh86JpLcm55s

se puede hacer en dos ajugas

hello. I've tried this three times now and it's just not working out right for me. the first time there was no place for the handle the second and third time the hole was off. any help that you can give me will be appreciated

I'm having the same problem.

[@carinevanalderweireldt8972]

[@meganthomas1430]

So, I'm a beginner. However I feel like your either left handed or going backwards for a reason i still don't understand. can you explain why you are knitting to the left? and the double wrapping threw me as well. Is there a specific reason you double wrap and then knit one peg at a time rather than going all the way around the loom. Help!? I'm dizzy! :)

[@Tuteate]

Hi Megan! You can work the whole project to the opposite direction as well :) I just feel more comfortable working to the left, I don't know why (this is how I started when I was a newbie...)

[@meganthomas1430]

@@Tuteate Awesome can you do that with any project?, I enjoied making this. my mom LOVES the mug cover. She uses it for coffee and loves it for when she makes the mug cakes.

[@annaf3628]

Is there anybody that could help me? I've tried this project at least 3 times but it seems as though the top hole of the cozy ends up being too small/tight for an average size mug. The rest of the cozy seems to fit well, just not the top. If there's anybody that can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

[@wlc1959]

The video and the prompts were very easy to follow however, this was a fail for me....a reference addressing knitting the gap for the mug handle would have been so helpful for this beginner; someone previously commented that the gap involved the 'flat' panel at 10:30 but it was not clear on the video that the 10 'flat' rows did not go all the way around ... were those 10 rows only to go back and forth half way?...that's not clear either...sadly I used a lot of yarn and invested time on something that will not work on a mug now. Good practice, I guess, but not having a finished product that resembles the picture that drew me to the pattern is disappointing

[@JB-vd8bi]

That's going to happen time and time again with knitting. Maybe try a written pattern in conjunction with the video

[@MsHolaholaa]

when did you show us the part to leave the gap in the work so in the end the button closes it? i totally missed it and my work ended up being only useful for a cup with no handle.....

[@keshiashanette3238]

Anais Rizzo when she does the flat panel knitting, thats when she works the gap.

[@MsHolaholaa]

Keshia Shanette hi, do you happen to know the minute/time that happens in the video? thanks! :)

[@keshiashanette3238]

Anais Rizzo 10:30

[@alimustafa7680]

Do you really think it is easier to knit with the loom on the table or are you just doing that for the video. Because I like knitting with the loom in my lap

[@joycebotha1321]

Hi all, I am knew with looping. I have one urgent question. Why do some looming start to the left, and other start going to the right of the loom. PLEASE, can anyone answer my ignorance !!!!!!!!!

[@Tuteate]

+Joyce Botha hi! (sorry for this late reply) You can loom to the right or to the left, the way you prefer.

[@collettegay1432]

I made this and my coffee mugs won’t fit. The loop doesn’t reach the button. That was a waste of 30 minutes or so.

[@adrianaquinones6675]

What kind of yarn I need

[@Tuteate]

I used a size #5 yarn called Phildar Rapido. You can use a size #5 or #6 (or work using 2 strands of a size #4 at the same time)

[@adrianaquinones6675]

Thank you
