Slanted Puffs Cup Sleeve
The pretty textured lace in this cup sleeve makes this ideal for gifting during the holidays or any time of year.
The cup sleeve is designed to fit the average coffee cup, but you easily adjust this in a multiple of three to any circumference you need.
It is shown here in a cotton yarn, but choose any similar yarn you like. You could choose a lighter weight as well as you can repeat the pattern for as many rounds you need to get the height that you need. However, I wouldn’t recommend a much thicker yarn as you won’t have room for three rounds of the puff stitches.
