Coffee Sleeve vs Coffee Cozy – What’s the Difference?
If you’re familiar with my crochet patterns, you may know that I already have the Picot Beverage Holder crochet pattern, which is a both a cup and can cozy. What makes the Picot Coffee Sleeve different is the base, or the lack of one!
The Picot Beverage Holder features a base so it’s perfect for cans. Since cans are cylindrical, a coffee sleeve (without a base) would just slip right off. Since a standard to-go coffee cup widens near the top, you don’t have to worry about the cup slipping straight through the sleeve.
The Picot Beverage Holder can be used for cups too, so picking between the holder and the sleeve is just personal preference!
Other than the base, both patterns to have another major difference in design. The Picot Beverage Holder is worked in the round, so the design looks identical all the way around, while the Picot Coffee Sleeve is worked in back and forth rows and features a faux knotted closure on the front.
The Picot Coffee Sleeve was designed to match my most popular pattern, the Picot Headband! It’s actually almost identical other than the coffee sleeve being smaller in circumference.
I think it would be such a great gift idea to pair a Picot Headband and Picot Coffee Sleeve together! Maybe also add a coffee shop gift card in there too!

Best yarn for Coffee Sleeves
For my Picot Coffee Sleeve’s I used Red Heart Super Saver. It’s medium 4 weight, 100% acrylic yarn. You can sub with any medium 4 weight yarn though!
I like this yarn because it’s affordable and provides nice layer between your hand and the cup. It’s comfortable to hold and stretches nicely around the cup.
Other yarn’s I think would work well too are Brava Worsted, Big Twist Value, Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek, and I Love This Yarn.
If you plan on using this coffee sleeve more for iced drinks, then a cotton yarn may work better since it’ll absorb any condensation.

Special Stitches
Check out the video tutorial if extra assistance is needed for the special stitches.
FHDC – Foundation Half Double Crochet
A FHDC is working your foundation chain and first row of HDC’s together in one.
CH 2, yarn over and insert hook into 2nd CH from hook. Yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through the 1st loop on the hook (that is the CH you will work into for the next stitch), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook. That is the first FHDC. Now working into the CH you created at the bottom of the ST, work your next FHDC. *Yarn over, insert hook into the bottom CH, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 1st loop on the hook, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.* Repeat ** until you reach the specified length.
If needed, try using a stitch marker to mark where your first stitch was made and/or where you created the CH to help know to work your next stitch.
SC BLO – Single Crochet Back Loop Only
When looking at the top of a stitch you will see 2 loops. The one closest to you is the front loop and the one furthest away from you is the back loop. For a SC BLO, work a single crochet as normal but only work in the back loop of the stitch.
PSC – Picot Single Crochet
Insert your hook into the designated stitch. Pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through the 1st loop on your hook. Yarn over and pull through the 1st loop again. Yarn over and pull through the 1st loop once more. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook. Push the CH 3 you just created behind so that it bumps out on the right side of your work and work the next ST.

Closing & Finishing
Cut off yarn, leaving a 12” long tail. Lay out sleeve with the right side facing up. Pinch the top and the bottom of both the short ends to themselves and place them interlocking with each other.
Using a yarn needle, whip stitch across the ends, working through all 4 layers. Secure with a few knots and weave in ends. Flip the sleeve right side out.
