I have for you today a free pattern for a super cute cable knit cup cozy. Even if you’re a beginner knitter, I think you’ll find this pattern pretty simple. I’ve been knitting for awhile now, but several years ago I attempted my first cables for the first time ever. There’s something about cables that I just LOVE! I really thought they were harder to do, but I have found them very easy!
If you’ve never knit cables, I would check out this article on WikiHow for more pictures and videos. It may be very helpful to you!

How cute is this coffee cup cozy! It’s reusable and portable to carry in your purse, gym bag, carryon or pocket.
Here’s what you need:
- yarn (I used something like this)
- size 8 knitting needles (I like metal needles the best . . . but, it’s just a matter of preference.)
- cable needle
- yarn needle
Yarns like these worsted weight ones from Patons work very well for this project!
