Repost of Coffee Cup Cozy Knitting Pattern

Edit on 1/1/2012: Changed row number repeat (two row 68's... thanks to an awesome lady on Ravelry for pointing that out to me!).  Also, added the abbrvts from the original pattern post, which you can find HERE if you still feel that this one is missing something.  I'm so excited that people are finding this useful!  I may need to edit even more in the future, or make this all one page or something, but it's New Year's Day and I'm kind of distracted right now...  Hope everyone has a marvelous 2012!

This is the same pattern. I just knitted another one of these things following my pattern and I got mad at myself. So here is the pattern, corrected to not be stupid. (There weren't any actual mistakes in the pattern. Just the lines where it said to repeat were totally stupid, so I'm changing it.)

US size 6 straight knitting needles (4.0 mm)
Tapestry needle
2 buttons
Sewing needle and thread to match yarn color

Rows 5 & 7: k2, p1, k4, p1, k8, p1, k4, p1, k2
Rows 6 & 8: k3, p4, k1, p8, k1, p4, k3

Rows 79: knit across
BO all stitches.

Finishing: weave in loose ends; sew two buttons on beginning four rows of garter stitch, lining up with button holes. (Really do this part last--make sure your buttons fit through the holes before you sew them on!)



Abbrvts:
Abbrvts: Abbreviations

  3. I love this pattern, it looks so cute, but what does "work fcc" and "work bcc" mean?
