Absolutly adorable! My husband always has a roll of tp around to use instead of kleenex...this is the solution to the unsightly roll laying around. Besides we LOVE coffee! Thank you soooo much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is awesome. I just found the link to this from Ravelry when searching for Coffee Cups. I was going to make my friend a little tiny Amigurumi Coffee Cup, but this would be so much better!
ReplyDeleteSooooo cute

Please help. I'm making this thank you for this but I'm having a problem with the "coffee". I did the 2 sc to get 12 but on row 3 I'm getting 16 stitches not 18. This is throwing the final count out also. Please help. Thanks Jackie
ReplyDeleteJackie,
ReplyDeleteEach round increases by 6 stitches. Double check to make sure you did an increase in every other stitch on that third round.
(For everyone, as I know there has been an issue with the coffee part) Keep in mind also that I used a bulky weight yarn for the coffee. If you are using worsted weight, just add more rows and increase 6 stitches on each round until there are 48 sc in the last round.
please help i am having a hard time with the coffee part... for some reason my stitch count is not right. i get the 12 but then on the next row i get 16 not 18 and then this throws the whole thing off.. also, i dont understand the handle part. i did the crochet but cant understand the assembly part..... please help.......
ReplyDeleterow 3 say to sc in each of the next 2 stitches not every other stitch...... or am i reading this wrong? this is the first pattern that I AM ABLE TO DO, (except for this part) lol. can you also explain the handle part? i dont understand what you mean by inbetween the 3 and 4 th row. can you put up a picture of how it would go or explain to this newbie on reading patterns.... THANK YOU SO MUCH i am so happy to be making this.....
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I never realized the problem with row three. There was a mistake in the pattern, so it wasn't you, it was me! Arggh! I've corrected the pattern and it should work for you now. I'm very sorry about that. I try to be as accurate as possible and have people test when possible, but some things slip past. :(
ReplyDeleteAs for the handle, after you've folded into thirds length-wise you just position it approximately where rows 3 and 4 meet and sew along that line, and then do the same thing for the other end somewhere along rows 9 and 10. It's just a guideline really, you can position the handle wherever you think it looks best.
See it took someone who can't read patterns to figure it out. Lol. It's funny I changed the numbers on my pattern and got the numbers to come out right and was going to tell you but u beat me to it. Now I just have to figure out how to sew the circle in. I'm going to figure out a different way. Maybe not sew the cup in a round but in a square and then close it up around the circle. Lol. Thank you I am enjoying the pattern and appreciate you sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh crap. 3-4 on the cup not on the handle. Now I got it. I love videos. Hint hint.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you are still answering questions or not, but I will try. I would like to make these TP covers and sell them at my grandson's school craft fair next November. I make hat covers that sell well, but these are darling. I don't want to step on your toes, so what do you want me to do? You can reach me at lynner3345@msn.com thanks
ReplyDeleteMy grandma will love this! Going to make it for her birthday!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I can't wait to try to make it. I'm just starting out so I hope it goes well. Thank you so much for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute . I love it.
ReplyDeleteOooh, so cute. I was searching for tissue box covers and stumbled upon this pattern! After Christmas I have to try it, thanks for sharing!
