Living in the Pacific Northwest, it’s no wonder I love coffee. I especially like making coffee in my French press, but hate that it cools off so quickly. Utilizing the insulating properties of alpaca, and showing off WonderWhyGal’s most excellent Certified Sorted alpaca yarn, I devised this chic cozy in fingering weight yarn held double.

Tested pattern directions are written using U.S. crochet terms, and come with many photographs for excellent visual references.

Until the end of 2011, this pattern will be available for free with a purchase of Alpaca The Way It Should Be yarn from WonderWhyGal’s etsy store. In 2012, this pattern will be available for purchase only.

This will make a great holiday present for that coffee lover in your life - and that includes you!

My sincere appreciation to my awesome testy-testers (who now have some of the most fashionably warm coffee on the block):
