Need a quick gift for a coffee or tea drinker, maybe a teacher? Or a coworker? Or a college student’s care package? In heavy worsted or bulky yarn these cute coffee cozies knit up quickly.

Pair this cozy with a reusable cup and a gift card to a favorite coffee house and you have a personal but inexpensive gift.

Cascade 128 is available in a variety of great colors so knit a few. Maybe red and green for Christmas, red for valentines day, orange and brown for the fall. A skein makes about 6 cozies. Get together with a couple of friends and trade half a skein.

The pattern contains directions for grafting in pattern and the grafting is mapped out so the recipient will have to look hard to see where you started.

You may use the pattern for personal use or in charity craft fairs as I did. Put the cup in a cellophane bag and tie a bow - it is a cute and practical gift.
