The Crochet Rainer Cup Cozy with Bottom also solves the never ending problem of missing coasters!
It happens more than I would like to admit. I am half asleep as I sit down with my coffee and plunk… directly onto the the wooden coffee table only to be met with an ugly heat mark. Now admittedly that only happened a few times before I started using coasters, but my heart still saddens when i think of how quickly it ruined the wood.

What Size Should a Cup Cozy Be?
The size of a crochet coffee cup sleeve can vary based on personal preference and the size of the cup you’re aiming to fit. However, a common standard size for a coffee cup sleeve is around 4 to 7 inches in height and about 8 to 9 inches in circumference. This should accommodate most standard-sized coffee cups and travel mugs.
Keep in mind that different yarn weights can affect the final size of your sleeve. This cup cozy will fit most Large to XLarge take out Startbucks coffees but you can change the height by adding more or less rounds as you go.

Substituting yarn
When substituting yarns for a crochet pattern, it’s crucial to keep the gauge as close as possible to the original yarn. Gauge refers to the number of stitches and rows in a given area of the crochet fabric, and it affects the size and shape of the finished project.
If the gauge of the substitute yarn is significantly different from the original yarn, the project’s feel and look may be affected. To ensure that the finished project looks and feels as close to the original design as possible, make a swatch with the substitute yarn and compare it to the original yarn swatch to match the gauge.
Be sure to visit www.yarnsub.com to help you choose the right substitute.
