Emoji Coffee Sleeve II - Free Crochet Pattern

This Emoji Coffee Sleeve pattern is made different than the first one. The Smily faced one uses hdc stitches and has a Picot border, but this one is all sc rows, making it easier than the first one. It does not have the picot border. 

Coffee Sleeve with Laughing Emoji Patch - Free Crochet Pattern by Mary Jane Hall

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 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 pattern is a Coffee Sleeve that slips on the bottom of a paper coffee cup.

Light Teal Coffee Sleeve with Emoji Patch

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

Yarn
Red Heart Soft Yarn
Color - teal 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.
Emoji Patch or Applique (can be bought at Hobby Lobby or ordered from eBay, etsy or Amazon)
Starbucks paper cup

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
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. 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: 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.

Note: put the sleeve on the cup to make sure it's not too loose. Do this after every coupler of rows.
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 joining with a slip stitch.
After last round, end off, making sure the yarn is long enough to weave in.

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.
