Jack-o-Lantern Coffee Cozy Tutorial

  'Tis the season for hot cider and pumpkin spice lattes! To add some extra Halloween cheer to my coffee, I whipped up this Jack-o-Lantern Cozy. It's a pretty fast project, able to be completed in a Netflix marathon.

Materials:

- Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Vanna's Choice)

- Size 5 DPNs 

- Small bits of black felt

Cup Sleeve:

Cast on 40 stitches and join, ensuring the stitches did not get twisted. 

*K7, P1* 5 times around

Repeat until the sleeve measures about 3 inches high, then bind off. This was about 18 rows for me. Sew in ends. 

Jack-o-lantern Face:
Cut two small triangles (about 1/2 inch high) and the mouth of your choice out of felt.

In one of the flat stockinette sections pin your felt pieces into place, then hand-sew them to the knitted cloth using a running stitch. This allows the knit to still stretch, but not completely pull the felt out of whack.

Place your favorite fall beverage into the sleeve and enjoy!

Currently working on some autumn themed knitting and enjoying my pumpkin spice candle! I love fall. Took a long walk with a hot cinnamon-spiced coffee, a cozy plaid scarf, and my tall boots. Autumn perfection. 

Hopefully you'll be seeing more of this project soon!
