This pattern fits a Starbucks Grande Cup. You see, I have an obsession with Starbucks Peppermint creamy hot cocoa with chocolate whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Doesn’t that just sound amazing?

Yeah, I get them often. It doesn’t help that I have a Starbucks only 3.8 miles from my front door! That is a bit dangerous, am I right?

Now I have a cute crochet cup cozy to make my cup represent how my hot cocoa is my lucky pot of gold to keep me working on a busy day.

For yarn, I prefer Yarn Bee. They tend to be very soft and seem to be Low-pill. And I love how detailed the stitches look when the project is finished because the yarn doesn’t frizz as much.

sc = single crochet
Hdc = half double crochet
