Crochet Coffee Sleeve | Digital Pattern

Add a little handmade touch to your daily coffee with my Simple Puff Stitch Coffee Sleeve crochet pattern. I love how the two rows of puff stitches look against the ribbed stitches—it’s a simple combination that gives the sleeve plenty of texture without needing lots of different stitches or color changes. Make one in your favorite color, match it to your everyday cup, or pick a shade for someone you’re making a gift for. The light blue pictured is one of my favorites, but there are so many possibilities with this little project.

PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for a digital PDF crochet pattern, not a finished coffee sleeve. No physical item, yarn, or supplies will be mailed to you.

About the pattern:
- This pattern is written in English using US crochet terminology. 
- The sleeve is worked in joined rounds using half double crochet, third-loop half double crochet, and puff stitches. 
- There are 11 rounds total, with two puff stitch rounds spaced between sections of ribbing.
- The written instructions include stitch counts, an abbreviation guide, explanations of the special stitches, and finishing directions.

If you’re comfortable with basic crochet stitches and ready to try a little texture, this is a nice project to work on. 

You’ll need to know how to chain, half double crochet, slip stitch, and join your work into a round. Working into the third loop creates the raised ribbed detail, while the puff stitches add a little extra dimension. Once you get into the repeat, the sleeve comes together one round at a time.

What you’ll need:
• Size 4 medium/worsted weight yarn
• A 5.00 mm crochet hook
• A yarn needle for weaving in your ends
• Scissors

Your yarn choice and tension will affect the finished size, so check the sleeve against the cup you plan to use as you work. Cups vary in shape and size, and the sleeve isn’t guaranteed to fit every cup.

Make it your own Keep it all one color to show off the stitches, or use a different color for the puff rounds. It’s an easy way to change the look and make each sleeve feel a little different. 

A finished sleeve makes a thoughtful addition to a coffee-themed gift. Pair it with a reusable cup or tuck a coffee shop gift card inside for a teacher, coworker, friend, or anyone who always has a coffee nearby. You can also make one just for yourself—sometimes those are the projects we forget to make!
