DIY Monogram Knit Coffee Cup Sleeves

Step 1

Begin by following the knitting loom kit instructions. You will be using those to knit a long sleeve (or tube) about 6 inches long.You will be making a slight modification in that you need to wrap each peg TWICE before pulling those over two more wraps.

Step 2

At this point, it's time to deviate from the “how to loom knit” manufacturer’s instructions so we can turn this into the monogram coffee sleeve.Stop following the kit instructions before finishing off your project.

Step 3

Pick up the bottom of your tube and put the loops onto the loom from the inside. This will basically double over the tube that you have created.

Step 4

Next, pick up each bottom set of loops and put it over the top loop. You now have a coffee sleeve, but we need to finish off the top.Start with the second peg to the right of the loom. Lift the loop and put it on the peg directly to the left.

Step 5

Now, lift the bottom over the top with your tool. Then move that loop from the peg it is on to the peg directly to the right.Keep repeating all the way around the loom.

Step 6

You will end on the last peg. Wrap the yarn end around twice and lift the bottom loop over the top.

Step 7

Repeat once more but with a single wrap.

Step 8

This time pull the end after you lift the bottom loops over the top.

Step 9

Now you have a sleeve and two loose ends. Tie the ends together in a few knots and trim off the excess yarn. Weave the ends into the coffee sleeve.

Step 10

You can leave your knit coffee sleeve plain or add the monogram with just some contrasting yarn and some fabric glue. No sewing is required!Use the glue to draw a monogram. Next, apply yarn in the shape of the letter. I doubled up the yarn to create a fun monogram design on my coffee sleeve. Allow this to dry completely.Your coffee cup sleeve is ready to use or gift.
