The cup of coffee (my favorite one)
First, let’s make the tiny bit of coffee we see in the cup, so with the light brown yarn:
Ch 11, starting from the 2nd loop from the hook make 10 hdc.
Cut yarn. Put this aside for now, we will get back to it later.
Now we will start making the cup:
Ch 8
Row 1: sc dec, 3 sc, sc dec (5)
Row 2: sc dec, 1 sc, sc dec (3)
R3: sc inc, 1 sc, sc inc (5)
R4: sc inc, 1 sc, sc inc, 1 sc, sc inc (8)

R6 to 7: 10 sc (10)
R8: sc inc, 8 sc, sc inc (12)
R9: 1 hdc, 10 sl st, 1 hdc (12)
R10: 1 hdc – now take back your coffee piece, we will crochet in its stitches to join it to the cup – 10 FLO sc in the coffee stitches, 1 hdc in the last stitch of the cup (12) (don’t cut yarn!)
Sew the bottom of the coffee piece to the 10 sl st of the cup from row 9.
We will now work the handle of the cup: ch 8, sl st 4 rows below on the side of the cup, ch 1 then turn to slip stitch in each of the ch 8 (8 sl st).
Embellish your cup with some little embroidered flower and 4 sl st on the bottom of the cup, like I did myself.
The cozy’s “belt” – How to crochet a kawaii mug cozy, tumbler cozy
Ch 59 (or more, or less, depending on your own tumbler or mug dimensions).
Row 1: Starting from the 2nd loop from the hook: 58 hdc (58)
Row 2 to 4: 58 hdc (58)
Cut yarn.
Assembling the different pieces together
Take your donut and the belt. Sew one side of the belt to one side of the donut, and the other side of the belt to the other side of the donut, leaving the donut hole uncovered behind by the belt.
Then sew or glue all the pieces on the belt, leaving a similar space between each of them. If you want a cozy mug that you can tie (instead of sliding it), add a sew-on snap button or some Velcro tape on the belt and on the back of the donut.
And then you will be finally done with your crochet kawaii mug cozy / tumbler cozy! Congrats to you, you worked hard! You can be proud of yourself. You just need now to slide the cozy on your tumbler and enjoy your new kawaii accessory!
