Materials:

• Bulky Weight Yarn (I used Fat Sheep by Farmhouse Yarns 50% wool, 50% mohair)
• Size 10 long circular needles or DPNs
• Coffee Cup or tumbler for blocking

Gauge: 3.5 purl stitches to an inch (approximately 12 stitches to 4 inches in pattern)

Stitch Pattern "Mock Cable Rib"
Rnds 1, 2, & 4: *P5, k3*
Rnd 3: *P5, sl1, k2, YO, psso the k2 & YO*

Abbreviations:
P- purl sl- slip psso- pass slipped stich over
k- knit YO- Yarn over

Instructions:

1. Cast on 32 stitches and join for working in the round being careful not to twist the cast on stitches.
    
2. Work in Pattern for a total of 3 repeats (12 rows).
    
3. Bind off loosely. I love to use Elizabeth Zimmerman's Sewn bind off for these projects, because it makes a stretchy top for a variety of sized cups.
    
4. Wet block over a tumbler to get the coffee cozy shape (a little bigger at the top than at the bottom).
