The Camper Cup Sleeve is inspired by the time my husband and I spent planning our RV adventure. One of the most exciting things about a vacation or a major lifestyle change is dreaming up the perfect solution. My head was full of all sorts of romantic ideas. I love the colorful, yet simple look of vintage campers. To create this look the Camper Cup Sleeve is double knit for a reversible, extra insulated cup cozy. The colorways I chose are inspired by the original colors of the 1961 Shasta Airflyte trailers. Read more about the Camper Cup Sleeve here!

Pattern Information: The Camper Cup Sleeve is knit entirely in Double-Knit Stitch to create a well-insulated cup cozy. The Double-Knit Stitch essentially creates 2 layers of stockinette with only the knit sides visible. Double-knitting in the round is an advanced technique because the tension of your knit and purl stitches need to be the same. Please read through the entire pattern before starting your project.
