Halloween Coffee Cup Cozy Knitting Pattern

I knit this Halloween Coffee Cup Cozy years ago with the intent that there would be a whole bunch of seasonal cozies to follow.

I finally did make a Christmas tree one using intarsia and another winter coffee cup cozy using stranded knitting to make trees, but I think there are a lot more possibilities!

The knitting pattern itself is just for the blank cozy so you could fill it with anything you like. Duplicate stitch is the key to turning this cozy festive, but you could also sew on a patch, use buttons or whatever else you like to embellish it.

  • Make the background red and stitch on a tree with French knot ornaments (not quite what I did above, but still a great idea).
  • Make stripes in fall colors.
  • Stitch a maple leaf instead of a pumpkin.
  • Make a pastel version and stitch on a bunny face or an Easter egg.
  • Or a red version with a pink heart

Someday I’ll probably get to stitching some of those, but right now I’m almost never leaving the house with coffee and if I do it doesn’t leave my car, so I don’t have much need for a cozy.

This one was originally published as a free Raverly download, but as I know a lot of people are trying to move off Ravelry I wanted to share it here, too.

I’d love to see your Halloween Coffee Cup Cozy if you make one! Share it on social with #ourdailycraft or tag me @ourdailycraft.
