Mr and Mrs Santa Clause travel coffee cup sleeves

Nov

2014

Hello there ! It has been a cold week here in Georgia. I stocked up lots of food, milks and HOT Chocolate . Nothing better than sipping a cup of Hot Chocolate in this crazy weather. On my recent Starbuck visit, I found this Starbuck togo coffee cup for only $ 1. I haven’t seen anything at Starbuck for a dollar since college, so I grabbed a few.

The cup is so plain, so I made a cozy/sleeve for it. Nothing is better than a Santa Clause sleeve…

Not too long after I completed the sleeve, I got an idea of making HIS and HERS coffee cups, then MR. and MRS. SANTA CLAUSE sleeves were born.

Materials:

Size 4.5 mm crochet hook

Red Heart Super Saver worsted # 4 yarn {red, white, black and yellow}
