Well, you're looking at it! The Faux Knit Coffee Sleeve pattern takes about 15 minutes to whip up, making it a fantastic option for last-minute holiday gifts. I've made a good number of these for my coworkers, and I know they can be great stocking stuffers for family and friends too!
I'm sharing the free written pattern below for those of you who'd like to make these as well. There is also a step-by-step video tutorial available if you'd like to crochet along with me!
As you can see, you can finish these coffee sleeves off in one of two ways:
- Leaving them be without any extra work.
- Or, cinching the middle with your ending yarn tail to create a cute and trendy bow shape!
Don't forget to grab your free coffee cup printable so you can make these nifty, ready-to-gift presents!
As the name of this project suggests, this project features faux knit stitches using crochet methods. I just love how rustic it looks, especially when using Lion Brand Heartland yarn. The heathered, tweedy look is so befitting for the autumn and winter seasons!
