Starbucks paper coffee cup

Picot- ch 2,  sl st in first chain

Note: if sleeve is too loose after the first round or 2, you may have to chain less at the beginning (28 instead of 30) or you can use a smaller hook. 

Instructions
Chain 30, being careful not to twist chain, join with slip stitch to first chain. Do not turn work. 
Rnd 1: hdc in same sp as join, and in each chain around, slip stitch to first hdc. 
Rnd 2: hdc in same space as join and in each hdc around,  join to first hdc with sl st. Put piece onto paper coffee cup to see if it will be too tight or too lose. If not, continue. It's better to be a little tight than loose, because it will stretch with use.
Rnds 2-9: continue working hdc rounds, putting sleeve on cup after every few rows, making sure it's not too loose. By the 2nd or 3rd rnd  you can continue to work rows without joining the end of each rnd. Just work right over top of the last join. Doing it this way with make it looks much better because it will be seamless. 
After rnd 9, end off yarn. 

Picot Edging
Attach black thread to any hdc with slip knot. Chain 1, sc in first hdc, work Picot, (see above); continue working (sc, Picot) in each remaining hdc, join with sl st to first sc, end off yarn and repeat this on other edge. 
Weave in ends.
