Valentine’s Cozy Roundup – Day 6

It’s the final day of my Valentine’s cozy roundup.  Tomorrow is the big day:  Valentine’s Day!

The pattern for this cozy was shared with me by my friend Liz over at A Little Crochet by Liz.  The cozy pattern is available at Dakotah Knits.  The heart pattern is  modified from Repeat Crafter Me.  Because the heart pattern as written was too large for my cozy, I chained 9 (instead of 11) to start and removed two single crochets from Rows 1 through 6 and  one single crochet from remaining rows.  I also removed rows 5 and 13.

Enjoy!

Valentine’s Cozy Roundup – Day 5

This pattern isn’t necessarily Valentine’s related, I just liked it!

Valentine’s Cozy Roundup – Day 4

I saw some ideas on Pinterest for cozies with popcorn stitch hearts.  The links to the patterns weren’t good, so I made up a pattern!

Stitches Used:

  • Chain (ch)
  • Single crochet (sc)
  • Slip stitch (sl st)
  • Half double crochet (hdc)
  • Popcorn stitch (pop) – There are a couple of different ways to do this.  My favorite is as follows:
    • Yarn over and insert hook from front to back in to stitch, yarn over and draw yarn through stitch (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (2 loops on hook)
    • Yarn over and insert hook from front to back in to same stitch, yarn over and draw yarn through stitch (4 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (3 loops on hook)
    • Yarn over and insert hook from front to back in same stitch, yarn over and draw yarn through loops (5 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (4 loops on hook)
    • Yarn over and insert hook from front to back in same stitch, yarn over and draw yarn through loops (6 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (5 loops on hook)
    • Yarn over and insert hook from front to back in same stitch, yarn over and draw yarn through loops (7 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (6 loops on hook)
    • Yarn over and draw through all loops on hook

Valentine’s Cozy Roundup – Day 3

I love this cozy because instead of hearts, it has lips.  The lip pattern can be found here.

I decided to have some fun, so instead of using a plain cozy pattern, I made up one with a little extra texture.

Valentine’s Cozy Roundup – Day 2

Day 2’s cozy is a puff stitch cozy from the Roving Nomad.  I love how the v-shaped puff stitches resemble hearts!  The only edits I made were to use a H-hook and start with a chain of 30 instead of 24.


 

Valentine’s Cozy Roundup – Day 1

I had surgery this week and am supposed to be doing nothing at home, so I whipped up six coffee cozies for my kids to give their teachers for Valentine’s Day.  I plan to share one cozy a day until the big event!

Day 1 – The Love Cozy

I saw a pattern I liked on Pinterest for a coffee mug cozy with the word “love” embroidered on it.  I wanted this to by a coffee cup cozy, not a mug cozy, so I followed this simple pattern by Dakotah Knits.

After I finished the cozy, I chain stitched the word “love” on the cozy.  Easy and cute!
