Happy Valentine’s Day! What better way to show your romantic side than by crocheting a quick, sweet mug cozy filled with love?

The Love at First Sip coffee sleeve is a sweet project you can make in a snap, thanks to our friends at A Crocheted Simplicity.

This pattern takes two colors of 24/7 Cotton® yarn and a size G/6 (4.0 mm) hook. Rose and White are great colors together, as you can see, but you could also have fun with palette. Red and Pink could look hardcore Valentine’s Day-esque,or you could do something a bit more unexpected like Lemon and Silver or Navy and Ecru. Have fun with the colors!

The great thing about using cotton yarn is that it’s easy to care for when you inevitably spill coffee on it. Machine washing is super important for anything that’s going to be in a messy situation. Projects like this that will be near food (also think: place mats, trivets, potholders, and so forth) need to be washable. So do projects that will be around other messy recipients, like pets, kids, or particularly clumsy adults. You can machine wash and dry 24/7 Cotton®, so it’s perfect for all of those situations. Including when you run to catch the bus and your coffee sloshes everywhere.

The main part of the sleeve looks like a granny square, but it’s actually worked back and forth instead of out from the center. Once you finish the motif you work simple ribbing around the rest of the piece and sew it together. It’s fairly simple, and would be perfect for anyone who knows most basic crochet stitches and can read a chart. If you’re more of a beginner and want to try graduating to some of the techniques used, like ribbing or a granny motif, this is a great way to do that, too! Since it’s small, you can try it over and over until you get it right.

Whatever kind of crocheter you are, the Love at First Sip coffee sleeve made in 24/7 Cotton® is a quick and cute project. Start it today in honor of Valentine’s Day and enjoy the beautiful design all year round.
