Clustered V-Stitch Crochet Cup Sleeve Pattern
This crochet cup sleeve pattern is designed for take-out coffee and tea cups. It is shown here on a large cup, but it should fit any cup from medium to extra large. If making it for a small cup you might want to reduce the pattern by one round.
I used a medium #4 worsted weight cotton yarn, but any other cotton should work just as well. If you decide to use a thinner or thicker cotton, you can adjust the circumference in any multiple of 4 to fit your cup.
