What’s great about it is that it is small enough to fit in your purse so you always have it on you especially if you like getting coffee out. 

 

Tip–If you like getting coffee out but you are trying to save some money, we have some great lattes recipes for you to make at home like our sugar cookie latte copycat recipe or our pistachio latte. Or how about our cold brew coffee with homemade cold foam? When you put your drink in a paper coffee cup like you’d get somewhere out, it still gives you the satisfaction of your favorite coffee drink from the local coffee shop. Try it!

 

Need a great gift idea? Make this cup cozy pattern and slide it onto one of these reusable travel to go coffee cups and put a Starbucks gift card in it. Perfect gift for coffee, tea, or cocoa lover!

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!
