The Knit Guru

Every Stanley Cup girlie needs a wrap for Valentines, right? Surely.

I admit, this serves zero function. But it looks cute.

Seersucker stitch Stanley Cup Wrap

You will need:
– 4mm knitting needles (I prefer DPN’s for this as you need these for the icord tails)
– DK yarn (just a partial ball, not much required)
– Scissors and a darning needle

Repeat Rows 1 through 8 until your piece is 33 cm (13 inches) in length.

Knit 3 – this is the first 3 stitches that we will continue with an icord for 20 rows. Cast off 25 stitches. Icord the last 3 stitches for 20 rows also.

The 2 icord tails now get folded and stitched to the centre of the cozy as shown. These will act as button holes for the heart buttons.

Make 2 hearts. Stitch on the other end of the cozy.
