That first sip of hot coffee in the morning. It’s a great feeling when your mind clears and the day can start fresh!

The pattern is pretty basic, just rounds of single crochet in a chevron pattern. You can highlight the pattern by using variegated yarns or different colours. This is a great little stash buster. Good for all those scraps of yarn. If you don’t have enough you can always use multiple colours. The ribbed texture will provide some cushioning and insulation from hot drinks. These can also double as wrist warmers once you’ve finished your coffee and recycled the cup!

Since these are easy to make and go quickly, they’re perfect to donate for school fundraisers, or quick, casual gifts. I am making as many of these as I can for a benefit to raise money for Hopewell Music Cooperative North, a school that provides music lessons and instruments to underprivileged children and adults in Minneapolis. The pattern is free, but if you would care to make a donation (tax deductible) to Hopewell music, it would help bring music into the lives of many who would otherwise be without it.
