I have named this project "Coffee Sock", because while knitting everyone kept thinking I was making socks. This yarn would make beautiful rainbow socks, so this may happen in the future.
This was made with the leftover ball of mini mochi. I made a hat with rest of it, this is almost exactly what I had left. I'm not going to write an official pattern, because I incorporated the lace pattern from another pattern. But I will share how I did it.
Instructions:
Step 1: Go to Starbucks. They were selling these travel mugs a year ago, maybe they still are. The idea was you can open it and write notes to yourself with a dry erase marker, then put the clear cover back on and the notes stay undisturbed. I saw this and bought one to make a knitted coffee cup.
Step 2: Pattern
With DPN Cast on 6 stitches.
This makes a flat circle for the base.
Row 1: kfb 6 Times (12 sts)
Row 2: [kfb, k1] 6 Times (18 sts)
Row 3: [kfb, k2] 6 Times (24 sts)
Row 4: [kfb, k3] 6 Times (30 sts)
Row 5: [kfb, k4] 6 Times (36 sts)
Row 6: [kfb, k5] 6 Times (42 sts)
Row 7: [kfb, k6] 6 Times (48 sts)
Rows 8-10: Knit
Begin Lace Pattern:
You can find the lace pattern here: It is free.
Repeat Lace Pattern 5 Times.
Knit 3 rows and bind off.
Step 3: Fiddle with the coffee sock to get it positioned properly around the cup. No blocking is necessary.
