I Voted Mug Cozy Free Crochet Pattern – Election Day!

2 Comments
[Image description] 3 panel photo of the I Vote Mug Cozy crochet pattern.

I’m not going to stand on a soapbox and tell you that you should vote or how to vote, I’m just simply giving you another option to show off that you voted in this election. I was excited to vote when I was a teen and even now I proudly display my “I Voted” stickers on my laptop and cellphone and this weekend I thought “duh!” when I realized I should have had this post up last week but I wasn’t even thinking.
Either way, I do hope you like it and show off your civic-duty performing self with a nice cup of something yum and this mug cozy around your cup.

Materials:

  • US G (4.00 mm) crochet hook
  • Worsted/ medium/ size #4 weight yarn
  • Yarn needle

Gauge:

  • 4″ x 4″ = 16 sc x 16 rows BLO

Terms/ stitches:

  • RS: right side (side that faces out)
  • Ch: chain
  • St: stitch
  • Slip st: slip stitch
  • Sc: single crochet

Notes:

  • The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
  • This pattern is worked in the round, with a slip st into the first st from the last st.Ravelry link
  • You can replace the first row with a foundation single crochet row if you’d like to.
  • Following the first row, sc into the back loop only.
  • If you don’t work this pattern in the backloop only, it might end up leaning. You can block the finished item to make it lean less.
  • This pattern is worked from the bottom up
  • All of the stitches in this pattern are single crochets, because of this the sides portion (where all the color changes are) only tells you how many stitches to do in what color, this is what the number in the parenthesis means.
  • Color A is white, color B is red, and color C is blue in the graph below.
  • Also check out this post about tapestry crochet from Moogly, it’s helpful.

Finished measurements:

  • Height: 4.5″

I don't understand that first row is sc40, next row is sc in next 35 ,sl st to first st. But that would add a space, is this correct?

Hi! Make sure you double check your numbers because the you should still have 40 sc. It does look like I left off the stitch count on that row but the stitch counts are correct. I hope that helps.

Take care, Amber
