Pocket Cup Cozie

So, if you'll are anything like me, you never have pockets on anything!!! And you're always losing your Chapstick. But I have a solution! My pocket crochet cozie has 2 pockets on it. You could use for your Chapstick, money for coffee, or even your crochet hook! Todays pattern is also a 2 for 1 because if you don't like the bow(pocket) you can just make a simple cup cozie. I do plan on having more cozie patterns in the future and some different styled cozies. I also do have a Tips and Tricks post coming up for yall on Thursday this week. So lets get into it!

 Pocket Cozie!

Tie off and leave a long tail to sew the bow to the cozie. Before we tie the bow to the cozie, take a long piece of matching yarn to the bow, sew a line up the middle of the rectangle and scrunch the middle of the rectangle into a bow shape. Wrap the tail of the sewn part around the middle section a few times to secure and tie off. Take the long tail from crocheting the rectangle and sew the bow to the cup cozie, leaving 2 rows above and 2 rows below the bow on the cozie. Also leave the top of the bow un sewn to the cozie to create the pockets.
