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. 

Fringed Leg Warmers - Free Crochet Pattern

I just can't believe I have not posted the pattern for these Fringed Leg Warmers before now. I designed them years ago and they were published in Crochet! Magazine in 2006. But they are very stylish today, since you see fringe everywhere!

The publisher put the pattern on the web, free to the public, but it disappeared, so I am going to post it here. The pattern is a beginner level. 

The free pattern is below.

Copyright - you have permission to make the leg warmers and even sell your products, but do not had permission to copy and share this pattern as your own. Most people are honest and respect the copyright laws, but I have to say this because there have been a few people who have copied my patterns and sold them as their own. Some have even taken pictures of the patterns in my books ands posted them for free on their blog or website. That is illegal and my publisher has dealt with them.
If you do make projects and sell them on etsy, or at a craft show, it would really be nice if you mention me as the designer. Enjoy the pattern!

Darling Daisy Hat / Scarf - Positively Crochet!

Design by Mary Jane Hall

Darling Daisy Scarf/Hat

This runway inspired scarf could be made for a girl or an adult. I saw one similar in a Fall runway collection (to the floor) but it can be made in any length. Most helmet type hats have the flaps on the side, but I put flowers there instead. The runway version is knitted. My scarf  has a chain link, open stitch pattern, and flowers all over, which are placed on the outside
after the scarf /hat is finished.

Lion Brand wool yarn was used but you can use any # 4 medium worsted wt. yarn for this EASY project. Picture your daughter wearing this to school. The colors go with so many outfits and it's a great conversation piece!

This scarf has flowers attached to the ends instead of fringe and could be done in any color combination. The scarf is attached to the cap, and can be wrapped around the neck or hang down.This fun project has been popular with people of all ages!
