The Gradient Glow Cup Cozy is a free crochet pattern on my blog!

A textured cup cozy worked from the bottom up in a continuous spiral. The ribbed, knit-look fabric comes from alternating ch-1 spaces with center single crochet (csc).

It’s a scrap yarn project that shows off gradient and variegated cottons especially well.

No joining or turning between rounds, and no seaming!
