Small and charming as this cup cozy may be, its not a beginner project. If youve never worked in the round with double-point needles or tried double knitting, this isnt a good project to start with because you have to do both at the same time, as well as make increases via both knit and purl. But if youre up for a challenge

Double-knitting makes this cup cozy both thick and reversible. Its slightly elastic to fit over your morning takeaway cup, but taut enough not to stretch out over time. A great project to use up scraps of worsted, you can make several of these over a weekend.

This was designed by and for a knitter whose daughter borrowed the knitters favorite fabric cup cozy, then lost it. (This ones better anyway.)
