The final installment in my fall-themed coffee cozy trio is the Swirling Leaves Coffee Cozy which reminds me of the beautiful colours of the fall leaves set against a backdrop of grey skies and crisp, cool air. For anyone interested in purchasing a downloadable PDF of this pattern (plus the Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cozy and the Fall’n for Plaid coffee cozy – you get 3 for 1!), head on over to Ravelry and check out my One Knotty Dog store.

Materials

• small amount of worsted weight acrylic yarn. 
  • 1 main colour – I used Patons Canadiana in Medium Grey
  • 4 autumn leaf colours – I used Lion Brand Heartland in Yosemite, Red Heart Soft in Really Red, Caron Simply Soft in Pumpkin, Caron Simply Soft in Gold.
• 5.25 mm crochet hook.

Size

4 3/4″ wide by 3 1/2″ tall when laying flat. I have found that this fits most typical coffee cups. Size can be adjusted to fit larger or smaller cups by adjusting the number of chains. Pattern is a repeat of 3 stitches.

Gauge

• Not applicable

Stitches

• ch – chain
• sc – single crochet
