Lattes of Love: Crochet Coffee Cup - Free Pattern

Happy New Year! To go along with my tea cup, I also made a fun little coffee cup.





This is a fairly easy pattern to follow although there is a little bit of assembly required. I probably should have used a different green color for the logo to make it look a bit more like Starbucks, but I didn't feel like running out to the store to get more yarn just for this and so I used the green that I already had on hand. I think it looks really cute!







Here is the pattern I used:

Level: Beginner

Materials:

  • H/5.00 mm hook (use a bigger or smaller hook to change the size of the final product)
  • Approx 50 yards of worsted weight yarn in white
  • Approx 20 yards of worsted weight yarn in tan
  • Approx 10 yards of worsted weight yarn in dark brown
  • Approx 2 yards of worsted weight yarn in hunter green
  • Approx 2 yards of fuzzy yarn in white (such as Bernat Pipsqueak)
  • tapestry needle
  • polyfiber fill
  • stitch marketer (optional)

Final product is about 5 inches tall and 4 inches wide.
You may sell your finished projects but please link back to my blog to give design credit. 

Abbreviations:
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
blo - back loop only
sl st - slip stitch
inc - increase (do 2 sc in one st)

Note that you will work continuously in the round, I suggest using a stitch marker. Do not sl st and ch 1 between rounds, you will get a visible seam.

Use white yarn to embroider a circle around or a swirl pattern


Assembly
  • Sew the logo onto the tan part of the coffee cup
  • Coil the whipped cream into the desired shape and sew onto the coffee. I like to have mine be a little taller in the middle. 
  • Stuff the cup with polyfiber fill. Don't over-stuff or the cup might not stand up flat. 
  • Line up the coffee to the top of the cup and use the white yarn to single crochet all around, attaching the coffee to the cup. Weave in any loose ends.
