Coffee Sleeve with Fur Trim - Free Crochet Beginner Pattern

I have at least 22 patterns for Coffee Sleeves and Coffee Cozies that I want to share with you. They will be free and all I ask is that you do not sell my patterns. If you share them please make sure you give me credit as the designer.  It's perfectly fine if you want to make any of my patterns and sell the item.
The written patterns are not very long and these should be a perfect project for a beginner.  I let other things get in the way of posting these patterns but I promise I will try to add one every few days.

Coffee Sleeve with Fun Fur Trim - free crochet beginner pattern
by Mary Jane Hall

Coffee Sleeves can also be considered a Coffee Cozy as far as the name, but the Sleeve is more like something you put on a paper cup such as one from Starbucks or McDonalds. You slip it on at the bottom of the paper cup.
But if you want a cozy for a mug, that's a little different. You can't put a Coffee Sleeve on a mug that has a handle. So I have different patterns for what I call a "Mug Cozy".
This first pattern is a Coffee Sleeve that slips on the bottom of a paper coffee cup.

Purple Coffee Sleeve with Fur Trim

Materials
Hook Size
US- G/6
UK - 8
Metric - 4.00mm

Yarn
(A) Red Heart Soft Yarn
Color -purple, or any other #4 worsted weight yarn. If using a thicker yarn you will have less stitches in each round. If using thinner yarn you will have more stitches in each round.
(B) Fun Fur or Eyelash yarn - purple

Starbucks paper cup

Instructions
All rows are sc (single crochet)
You will need to slip the Sleeve onto the cup after the second row to see how it fits. You may crochet tighter or loser than I do so that's why you need to try it on. Sorry I didn't write down a gauge with this pattern before I sold it at the craft fair! But this is easy enough for a beginner and it's not difficult to tighten up your stitches or use a smaller hook if the cozy is too loose on the cup. It's better to make it a little tight, because it will probably stretch from use.

Chain 28
Round 1: with yarn (A), Sc in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain to the end - 27 sc
Being careful not to twist chain, slip stitch into first stitch forming a ring. Do not turn. You will continue working in the round.
Rounds 2-11: sc in first sc of round and in each sc around, slip stitch to first sc - 27 sc
Note: by the end of the 2nd or 3rd round you should be able to keep working without the slip stitch.
After last round, end off, making sure the yarn is long enough to weave in.

Trim (B)
Make a slip knot and attach fun fur to any sc at top edge of sleeve. Sc in same space and in each sc around. Slip stitch to first sc, end off and weave in ends.
