Coffee cup cuff / cozy

Having become thoroughly weary of burning my hands on the coffee cups at work I thought I'd put my crochet skills to good use and create myself a coffee cup cuff or cozy.

It is made with Rowan cotton glace, its weight is between DK & 4ply.  I used a 3.5mm hook.

I used shade 833, Ochre for this one.

I have also added a couple of buttons, these are decoration only but also serve as a good gripping mechanism for the cup.  These are are 20mm black wood carved buttons.



 I am now trying to figure out if I should make more to see on my Etsy shop.  What is your opinion?

White crochet Cuff

I haven't made any jewellery for a while and thought it would be nice to make something other than a necklace, I've already got quite a few of those made.

I always like the way that its possible to create wonderful patterns with crochet, I really like the vintage feel of this particular piece.  Part lace, part solid.

I closed the back with pretty little flower cut buttons.
