Mocha Me Cozy

Mocha Me Cozy Crochet Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Mocha Me Cozy is a beginner-friendly crochet project designed by Ashley Edmonds through Through The Loop Yarn Craft. This cozy is a small cylindrical accessory worked in rows from side to side, creating a practical and comfortable piece. The finished dimensions are approximately 10 inches long by 2 inches wide for the small size, or 11 inches long by 3 inches wide for the large size. The pattern includes a button closure option, allowing for versatile styling and fit adjustment.

Techniques Used

The Mocha Me Cozy employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The pattern is worked side to side in rows rather than in rounds, making it an excellent introduction to directional construction. The designer notes that stitch placement is an important consideration throughout the project. The pattern offers flexibility in finishing options—you can choose to leave the rustic edge as-is for a casual aesthetic, or add a single crochet border around the outside for a more refined and polished appearance. The inclusion of a button adds functional closure and personalization to the finished piece.

Stitches Used

• Chain (ch) - The foundational stitch used to create the base and chain spaces throughout the pattern
• Single Crochet (sc) - The primary stitch used to build structure and density in the cozy
• Single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog) - A decrease stitch used in the decrease section of the pattern to shape the piece
• Chain Space (chsp) - Openings created by chains that add texture and visual interest
• Turn Chain (trn ch) - Used to transition between rows

Materials Required

This project uses worsted weight cotton yarn, with approximately 25 to 35 yards needed to complete the cozy. The designer used Lion Brand 24/7, Bernat Handicrafter, and Premier Home Cotton as yarn options, all suitable #4 worsted weight choices. A US size 5.00mm crochet hook is required for this project. Additional materials include scissors, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, and a button of your preferred size for the closure. The gauge is noted as not critical, making this pattern forgiving for beginners and allowing for slight variations without affecting the overall fit and function of the finished cozy.

Skill Level and Pattern Notes

Rated as an Easy skill level, the Mocha Me Cozy is designed for beginning crocheters. The pattern uses US terminology throughout. Important pattern notes include that the beginning chain 2 of each round counts as a single crochet with a chain 1 space, while the beginning chain 1 in the decrease section does not count as a stitch. The gauge is not critical for this project, offering flexibility for crafters of varying experience. The pattern was created in 2020 by Through The Loop Yarn Craft and is available as a downloadable PDF for easy reference while working.
