Pattern Description:
This pattern creates a cute pumpkin cup cozy, often made using bright orange yarn like “Desert Glaze”.
The cozy body begins with 24 foundation double crochet stitches, followed by rows built up using alternating front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc) to create texture.
A separate leaf, crocheted in light sage, and a brown stem are then attached to complete the look.
