Coffee Cozy by Elizabeth Murphy

Coffee Cozy

This pattern is available for free.

Every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday mornings, my girlfriends and I gather together at the coffee shop and knit, and talk, and laugh, and cry, and knit some more. Some of us are happy just to watch, while some of us knit row after row of perfectly executed garter stitch, and some of us are just a wee bit obsessed.

The magic of our needles and camaraderie brings an ever changing blend of men, women, grandparents and children to the large round table; watching in awe or sharing stories. I have come to appreciate each and every person who has passed through our group, and have come to depend on this profound connection we’ve created with each other.

Today, the tone at the table grew to sheer panic! We were all completely shocked and surprised about how there’s only a month until Christmas and no one has started their handmade gifts. (Yes, we do this panic thing every year. You’d think we’d get a clue.)

I also know that we are not the only ones panicking, so I have a gift for you… a really easy, quick gift to make; Coffee Cozies. They are so fast and easy, fit just about any size cup, and I bet you could make enough for all your family & friends in one weekend! Better yet, grab a bunch of your favorite knitting (or crocheting) friends and spend the afternoon together cranking them out!
