Crocheted in two or more colours, using the pretty Tunisian crochet wave stitch, I Like My Coffee Hot is a fun way to learn a new technique or practice an old favourite.

Using bulky-weight wool creates a thick fabric which acts as an insulator, keeping your coffee nice and hot while it brews.

Any bulky-weight yarn can be used in this design.

More tips for piping hot coffee:

• Preheat your cafetiere before brewing - just use a little hot water from your kettle as it boils

• Preheat your mugs before pouring your coffee
