Quick Valentine’s Day Cup Sleeve Crochet Pattern
This quick cup sleeve crochet pattern is worked in single crochet, in rounds. The pattern is available in 3 different sizes, depending on how snug you want the sleeve to fit.
I am able to stretch the smallest sleeve over the largest coffee cup at my favorite coffee chains but if you like a coffee cup sleeve that slides on easily, make the large size sleeve. For just a bit of stretch, make the medium size. It’s really all about how you like the sleeve to feel on the cup, with a bit of wiggle or none at all.
You can easily change the colors of yarn for the coffee cup sleeve for other occasions too! Then add your holiday themed embellishment (applique) and you are ready to go!

- When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
- I start each new color change round with a standing st. If you prefer a sl st join and a turning chain, feel free to substitute.
- Slip stitches do not count as stitches.
- Make your sl st tightly.
