Cat Drink Cozy Crochet Pattern
Just like the Bear Cozy, this pattern can be adjusted to fit other containers.
Pattern is worked in continuous rounds.
Abbreviations (US terms)
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
inc – increase (2sc in same st)
BLO – back loop only
sl st – slip stitch
Materials:
-Worsted weight yarn in color of choice
-Crochet hook size 4.00mm
-7mm clear safety eyes (I purchased mine from 6060 on Etsy)
-Acrylic paint and paintbrush for eyes - I used Light Green
-Scrap piece of felt in colour of choice.
-Embroidery thread and needle.
Body
Round 1: start 6 sc in ring.
Round 2: inc in each st (12 sts)
Round 3: [inc, sc] repeat 6 times (18 sts)
Round 4: [inc, sc 2] repeat 6 times (24 sts)
Round 5: [inc, sc 3] repeat 6 times (30 sts)
Round 6: sc in BLO to create edge/walls of base. Measure and make sure it fits.
Rounds 7-17: sc in each st (both loops).
Round 18: sc in next 11 sts, in next st (sc, 2 hdc, 2 ch, 2 hdc, sc), sl st in next 5 sts, in next st (sc, 2 hdc, 2 ch, 2 hdc, sc), leave remaining sts as is. Fasten off and weave ends.
Tail
ch 12, sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across, 4 sc in last ch, continue along bottom of foundation ch to end. Fasten off and sew to cat cosy (around beginning of rounds 8 or 9):
For the eyes I applied two coats of paint to the inside of each eye, careful not to get paint on the outside. Once the paint was completely dry, I attached the eyes and with pliers I carefully trimmed the excess.
For the nose and mouth, I used pink embroidery thread on a scrap piece of white felt, which I later cut into a round shape and with needle and thread, attached to the cat.
And now I have a cute kitty to protect my hands while I drink cold beverages!
